It's hard to say what is going on. The chewing could be a habit that she has aquired to comfort herself or it could be caused by something you are not able to spot on her teeth, or it could be because she lacks some nutrient in her diet (or more likely isn't processing the nutrient correct given what you are feeding her).

I would recommend a vet check. If the problem seems to be behavioral then you could coat all the surfaces you don't want her to chew with a commercial product like "Bitter Apple" or "Bitter End" or with a home-made mixture of cayenne pepper with enough water to make it stick to a surface.

Good luck to you. Let us know what the vet says.
