Hi guys,
I was wondering if anybody else has experienced biting their tongue when especially anxious? I had had a very bad day for anxiety a couple of days ago and found when brushing my teeth that I had bitten it on both sides, there are a couple of dents under one side (quite deep- I must've bitten it badly!) and a small sore on the other side on the edge.
Being very anxious in regards to my health, I immediately worried that I had had a seizure in my sleep since the pain didn't wake me up when it had happened (I had strained my neck too). I do, however, clench my teeth and possibly grind them so I was wondering if anybody has done this as a result of bruxism?
I'll probably ask my dr about it as I'm seeing him next week but as my bedclothes weren't tangled up, nothing had fallen from my bed (I had heaps of stuff on my bed) and I didn't have any bruises or anything, just a sore neck I'm trying not to worry too much about having had a seizure. I suppose it's better to be safe than sorry though!
I'd also like to get a bite guard to preserve my teeth but unfortunately I have braces. So does anybody have any tips that have helped them stop clenching their teeth other than therapy?
