Charlotte Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I seem to have developed this habit of biting my cheek, on the insides. I think it's a stress thing but I was trying to remember when I didn't do it and I can't! Anyway, I randomly started reading up about it and apparently it can lead to mouth cancer? Is that just a load of ballbags? I'm trying to stop myself doing it now...any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I do this too! Think I do it when i'm stressed or nervous, usually my cheek or inside of my lips. Fingers crossed it's 'bawbags'!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter richards Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 i did it this week but after a wisdom tooth filling , have you quit the fags char as thats not going to help either ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Try coating the inside of your mouth with something like cat poo. Won't cure it but will make you stop and think about biting the inside of your lip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathew Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 i used to do this in my sleep. it got so bad once that i had to take time off work due to it getting infected and swelling up good and proper. was in quite a bit of pain for about a week and found it really had to even eat anything. the problem being that the more you bite your cheek the easier it is to catch it when you are biting normally due to the swelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueangel Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 http://www.youre.co.uk :rolleyes:ad nauseum! ok so your grasp of punctuation and the english language is good but it still doesnt help the fact that you're all weird and have an obssesion with eating yourselves from the inside out:p:blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I believe it could lead to cancer. As far as i understand it the constant healing of the mouth would be more likely to develop into rogue cells. Cancer is a mutation of cells afterall, that come about during growth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 What about chewing gum? Would that help? You need something to put in your mouth to give your jaw something else to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
