Biting cheek bad habit!!?

Question

DO NOT SAY CHEW GUM i still bite my cheeks!! i cant stop any other ideas??

Answer 1

I've had that bad habit my whole life!  It's so hard to stop.  But I have to say that chewing gum does work.  Or sucking on some hard candy, but then I just go back to chewing my cheek.

When I go to bed at night, I place a mouthpiece in my mouth that was fitted by my dentist and it keeps me from clinching my teeth and also helps with cheek biting.  Maybe you could ask your dentist for some type of appliance?

Answer 2

yes this is really a bad habit for me as well, i have permanent dips in the cheeks from where i bit them.

Ive never really found something to help permanently but short term. swirling water round my mouth or brushing my teeth strangely helps!

Often i do it when I'm nervous, so i chew something else instead, like my fingernails loll! i know its disgusting, but it helps me not get sores in my mouth.  

Answer 3

Yeah sometimes i bite my cheeks also i dont know why..  Ive been biting them since i was 2 years old and now im 19 , i guess its like smoking i just cant stop biting them.
