A member asked:
My tongue has a pang of pain. the rest of my teeth have had a bit of sensitivity to them this week too. do you think i'm clenching in my sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clenching: Clenching during sleep is quite common. It can cause your teeth to be sensitive and your tongue to be sore from biting it. The only way to determine whether you are clenching is by seeing a dentist for an evaluation. Schedule an appointment with your dentist for a exam and find out.
