    hi JuJu

    It sounds like you are doing a lot of grinding of your teeth, your poor cheeks are just getting in the way. Best ask what the dentist thinks, mine made me a mouth guard to wear to protect my teeth. It might help.

    I have to say I don't wear it now as I am sleeping a lot better and calmer, but that could be meds.

    Hope that helps.

    This is from grinding your teeth during the night. I do this also. It is from stress etc.

    I have found relaxation cd's are great just before you go to bed as they calm your body and help you get to sleep quicker so you're not laying there thinking about things.

    I haven't bitten the insides of my cheeks since doing the relaxtion cd's.

    Ask the dentist to make you a mouth guard which will help alot.

    I do it too - chew my mouth and grind my teeth.

    The dentist may be able to make something called a Sleep Guard - it's like a mouth guard but specifically for use while sleeping to stop the damage.

    That happens to me too.
    And all along the edges on my tongue and it's sore at the moment :(
    I didn't know it was from grinding your teeth.
