Do you only chew on one side?

[user104658]

I've noticed that I only chew stuff on the left side of my mouth :think:. If I consciously chew or crunch on the right, it feels SO strange :worry:.

Is this normal? Or are most people ambi-chewers?

[Marsh.]

I think I chew more on the right but I do chew on both.

[Niamh.]

Both I think but I'll eat my lunch and get back to you later

I thought at first this was going to be about tooth ache or something, I don't see why you wouldn't chew on both sides :shrug:. But you do you I guess.

i like to alternate as to not favour one side and start some sort of enamel bad feeling in my mouth

maybe i favour right more as i pulled a tooth out on my bottom left eating a toffee a while back (its in a pot on my desk as it goes)

It's not conscious, I only noticed recently!

It has made me wonder if my teeth on the left side will eventually be more worn while the ones on the right will be untouched :think:. I can't see any difference so far.

My 10 y/o pulled one of her baby molars last week eating a toffee, heh. I think she forgot it was loose, she's been avoiding pulling it for ages (she's terrible at pulling teeth, she'll leave them until they're hanging by a thread) but she was sat at the computer eating a toffee and then I suddenly heard a cry of "Reeeeee... REEEEE... phe tohhee ih htuck to mah toohh... IHH HTUCK TO MAH TOOH!!" and then I got in trouble for laughing so much :(

Only time I chew on one side is I have a problem with a tooth or something and that feels odd

[Babayaro.]

I swallow

:bawling: it's just me, I'm a weirdo monochewer.

I've noticed this before and I chew for the majority on my left side

Right occasionally but that's only when I realise I should use both sides :omgno:

[Niamh.]

Oh damn I forgot to take note of my chewing :laugh:

[Jessica.]

I chew about 60% on the left side and 40% on the right side.

[Tony Montana]

Both, but the right side more.

Not something I have ever thought of before..but yeah, seem to be almost exclusively the left side, from memory. Not sure why :suspect:
