Depends: Depends on whether this is just a habit ( if so stop :-) ) or whether ist a problem caused by teeth that are missing, ill fitting prosthesis, or posterior bite collapse due to wear or recent dentistry.

Concentrate: If it just started and the in side of your lip or cheek is swollen, then you need to chew slower and concentrate on what you are doing until the swelling goes down. Every time you bite it it will just keep the swelling going.
