@SharkE Google "cheek biting" at Huffington Post. An article that might interest you.

yeah, I checked up on the problem online and a lot said "anxiety" LOL

Not a cheek biter or outer lip biter, my problem is just when I eat and chew. Bet my jaw and teeth placement is changing I'm 65 and bottom teeth are leaning a tad, got plenty of room to move don't know why they have to try to overlap. Don't have any back teeth in the back on 1 side and a crown on the other side as the last tooth on that side.

I'm gonna look at the stores Mon.

Best thing for mouth care is Biotene I use that for cold sores, mouth irritations of any kind. Couldn't live without it. Peroxide, is what it is.

something is different. Guess I can lose wgt hahahahaha drink lot of milkshakes.

Funny that you mention losing weight. When I find myself accidentially biting the inside of my cheek it's the first sign I've put on some pounds. Seriously.

Maybe that's my problem! lol! I bite my bottom inner lip a lot. I've tried to figure out what causes it, and I'm not sure. At first I thought it had something to do with a dry mouth. It happens very quickly when I'm chewing food. I worry about injuring that same spot over and over. Then months will go by when I don't bite the lip at all and I forget about it. My one bottom tooth is crooked and after reading some of these comments, I think that may be my problem. I've never mentioned it to my dentist because it doesn't happen on a regular basis, but I'm going to mention it at my next checkup.
