I have been biting my cheek for a long time i try to stop but now it's becoming a habit what do i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bad habit: it is a common habit and hard to break but you should make a sincere and concerted effort to stop yourself from biting. Once you have been bite free for several days, the habit will be broken. You might try chewing sugar free gum in an effort to distract you from biting.
