A member asked:
I wonder why i sometimes bite my inner cheek wall. its kind of swelled at the left n right of the wall btween the teeth?

It happens: No particular reason. Your cheek gets caught between your teeth. If it is really bad and happens often, then your dentist can round off the outer edges of your teeth to make the cheek biting less likely.
