I am biting my tongue in my sleep. i wear a mouthguard but hasn't helped lately. what should i do?

See your dentist: Biting your tongue while you sleep is not normal. If the mouthguard you have is not helping prevent that, then you may need a new type of guard. Go see your dentist and discuss it with him.
