Specializes in Pain Management

Morsicatio buccarum?: rinse with warm salt water 3-4 times a day, Ibuprofen or Tylenol (acetaminophen) (one tablet every 3-4 hours as needed for pain) work well to alleviate the tenderness and discomfort. Also apply compounded topical cream. If you have been suffering from chronic cheek biting (Morsicatio buccarum), then it is best to visit the dentist and get the cause and the condition treated at the earliest.
