From: Cud Category: Life Date: 14 September 2007 Time: 04:04 PM Review: It seems that for years now I have been chewing on the left hand side of my mouth. Last year the dentist fitted me with a gum guard to prevent the gritting of the jaw I do in my sleep. This has been working well, and though I do still grit my jaw I have been able to chew my food happily until this summer. In response to this I have decided to chew on the right hand side of my mouth. I have been surprised how quickly this conscious decision has become an unthinking habit. I wonder for how many years I must chew on the right side to compensate for the use of the left.
