When you bite down, you’re not just eating—you’re testing the health of your whole mouth. kousání, proces, při kterém zuby a čelisti pracují společně k rozdělení potravy. Also known as žvýkání, it’s the first step in digestion, but also a major stress test for your teeth and jaws. If something’s off, you’ll feel it—whether it’s pain, clicking, or just a weird feeling when you bite into an apple. Many people don’t realize that how you bite can cause long-term damage, even if you don’t feel pain right away.

Problems with křížový skus, stav, kdy horní a dolní zuby nejsou správně zarovnané a jedny kousají mimo druhé aren’t just about crooked teeth. They change how force spreads across your jaw, leading to uneven wear, cracked enamel, or even headaches. That’s why kousání with a misaligned bite can turn a simple snack into a slow injury.

You might start chewing on one side, which strains your jaw and wears down other teeth. And once it’s there, no toothpaste or mouthwash will remove it. Only a hygienist can clean it out properly.

And let’s not forget zubní kazy, počínající nebo pokročilé poškození skloviny, které se projevuje často právě při kousání. A small cavity might not hurt until you bite into something cold or hard. That’s your body telling you something’s wrong. Ignoring it doesn’t make it go away—it makes it bigger, deeper, and more expensive to fix. And if you’ve had implants, your bite matters even more. Implanty nejsou jako přirozené zuby—they don’t have nerves, so you won’t feel pain if you’re biting too hard. But they can still break, or damage the bone around them.
