Bitten my tongue in my sleep, why can that be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Numerous reasons: But beside the immediate discomfort - if an isolated incident shouldn't be a problem. With that said if its happening often, you notice swelling, difficulty in swallowing etc please consult with your physician or dentist.
