Mesteci doar pe o parte a gurii?

In this short conversational excerpt, two speakers discuss the dental and facial health consequences of chewing predominantly on one side after losing a tooth. They explain that the alveolar bone where the extracted tooth once was gradually resorbs (about 1 mm per year), leading to a gap. Because many people neglect to replace the missing tooth, they shift mastication to the opposite side, chewing continuously with the full set of teeth on that side. This unilateral chewing can accelerate wear and damage to those teeth, cause overdevelopment of the masseter muscle on the working side, and ultimately result in noticeable facial asymmetry. The dialogue serves as a cautionary warning against the habit of chewing only on one side and highlights the importance of balanced mastication and timely dental replacement.
