Biting Inner cheek in mouth

[Mary C]

Recently I have noticed I am biting my cheek in mouth whilst sleeping.Not sure if I need to get some kind of teeth guard fit night.
Currently using bonjela to soothe it.
Anyone else got this problem ?

Hopefully your get a mouth guard Mary. I think Mathew mentioned one a white back. I bite the inside of my mouth and lip quite often when I’m eating so have to eat very carefully x

Yes I do too Mary. Think it's yet another complication

Sometimes bite my lower lip when eating...I too have to be careful. Haven't noticed at night but I've a mask covering nose and mouth. 😘

I'm the same. I swill my mouth with luke warm salt water which helps it heal. I also got a cheap mouth gaurd from amazon but my partner got one from his dentist which fits better.

Go to your dentist and get upper and lower gum shields. Nothing like what rugby players wear. I wear my lower one 24/7 with no pain and no problems. 😀😁👍🤗xx

Thing about biting your tongue or lip you just know you will do it again.

Except with MND/ASL you loose control of your tounge and your jaw moves. Just saying 😁🤗😘😍xx

I know I was just saying too. Thing is I never know where to put my tongue when I'm trying to get to sleep. As for the dentist I mean it has a life of it's own. 😳

Me too biting cheeks and lips but not while sleeping. And when I sneeze tongue gets stuck in gaps between teeth. OWW! Also use Bonjela. I was in the process of having an implant when diagnosed so abandoned it to avoid most of the cost. Big mistake! Seeing dentist next week about mouthguard.

All too common an issue Mary 😩

I definitely recommend a dentist-made mouthguard for your upper teeth - they are worth the money.

You will have an impression of your teeth taken, which involves biting down on a 'putty' type material for a very short period, but it's not unpleasant.

I wear mine only in bed and, if I have sore inner cheeks, like you, I use Bonjela.

Another thing for your To Do list, I'm afraid. xx

Find a dental hospital near by and get it for free. If you're lucky you get a student. Best extraction of my life! 😁🤗🐧😍xx

I do this all the time when eating, even when I’m being super careful! Also biting my tongue, which is even worse
