A member asked:

Is it possible for chewing on ice to cause trismus?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not generally: Trismus is limited opening of the lower jaw, usually caused by muscle spasm, a jaw joint disorder or an infection of the jaw. Chewing ice is not good for your teeth or your jaw, but i don't think it would commonly cause true trismus.
