Chewing on one side can cause tooth decay. About this radio Sputnik said dentist Alexey Antipenko.
If one side of the teeth is not used for chewing, they will be cleaned less often. The fact is that vegetables and other dense foods eliminate soft plaques that can form from bread, cereals, potatoes and other soft foods high in carbohydrates. 72 hours is sufficient for hard plaque to form.
“This dense plaque will gradually petrify. As a result, the likelihood of developing caries, gingivitis and periodontitis is much higher,” explained Antipenko.
The doctor stated that unilateral chewing will not lead to tooth wear, wear of hard tissues or hypertrophy of the chewing muscles. What you should be afraid of is rot.
The doctor added that the presence of a “favorite” side for chewing requires a trip to the dentist, as this may indicate painful sensations when biting.
