A member asked:
Dental: i have a good bite. when i eat should i eat on one side or on both sides together? i favor my right side as i was waiting for implant crowns.

Both Sides: But it is understandable that you are favoring one side since you are missing teeth on the other.

Chewing: Ideally we should be chewing on both sides. However it has been shown that we favor one side or the other depending on our occlusion, neurologic pattern, and health of our dentition. Discuss the issue with the Dentist that will be doing your restorative treatment.
