Are you a right side chewer or a left side chewer?I just noticed this while eating my supper,that when it came time to chew my food it automatically was put on my right side of teeth for chewing.I never noticed it before and found it very interesting!Im a right side chewer.Have you noticed this?:)

Right side chewer. In fact I definitely notice when I bite the inside of my own mouth and then I try doing left side chewing.

Yes, I have noticed this. I tend to chew more on my right side, and that got really annoying for me when my wisdom teeth started to grow in, and there was a gap between my new teeth and my other teeth. All kinds of meat and stuff would get stuck in there and I'd have to floss it out. Very annoying!

This is definitely a different discussion, LOL. But yes, I have noticed that. So the next time I eat something, if I think about it, I try to chew with the opposite side I did the last time. I don't know, maybe I think one side of my mouth will rebel in a quest for equal time. : )

I haven't really noticed but I guess I do b/c whenever I have a toothache I have to work at not chewing on the side that hurts. AT PEACE WITHIN ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

I have noticed that due to many tooth issues in my mouth, including several teeth on the upper right side being pulled, I still chew on the right side of my mouth. I have more teeth on the left side, but one that is filled is very sensitive, so it is more preferable to chew on the right side.
