Not clear on what you are asking, you mean chewing the skin on the inside of your cheeks. Or chewing food in general?
If you mean chewing at the inside of your mouth, like a nervous habit or something, no I don't think that will ruin the enamel on your teeth. Chewing in general, which we have to do every day in order to eat, does not ruin the enamel on our teeth. What does ruin the enamel is the acids in our stomach fluid, which comes up when we vomit. That is a reason why bulimics have bad teeth, because of all the stomach acid that can't help but get on their teeth from vomiting so often.
Eating to many sugary foods and sodas can compromise the enamel on your teeth, and cause cavities. so watch the sweets. And if your teeth are white and you like them that way, avoid dark colored drinks like cola, coffe and tea.
So don't know if I answered your question or not.
Ask again, if I wasn't clear.
