A member asked:

What can be done to cure if i bite myself in the cheek?

Dr. Dinh Bui answered

What is the cause?: A poor posterior occlusion, the way your upper teeth and lower teeth bite together, will cause cheek biting. Schedule with your dentist to evaluate your occlusion if you keep biting your cheek. If it is just an accidental bite, keep the area clean by rinsing your mouth with warm salt water, it will heal by the next day...
