Today, while enjoying breakfast, my teeth took a chunk out of my cheek. This happens regularly, even when I'm talking. Both my doctor and dentist have no idea why, and I'm in utter agony. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had a dentist appointment in which a nurse numbed my mouth. After coming home, I took a nap in which I unknowing bit through my top lip. I physically can't speak. FML
Today, I was eating ice cream and struggling to chew a particularly hard chunk of chocolate. After finally breaking it into pieces, I spat it out because it tasted terrible. Then I discovered that I was missing my temporary crown. Now I have no upper molar. FML
Today, my front tooth randomly fell out in the middle of class. I brush regularly and visit the dentist, the tooth was perfectly healthy looking, and it didn’t hurt beforehand or bleed. It literally just fell out for no reason. Now I have a gap grin and I don’t know why. FML
Today, while having sex I managed to chip my tooth. FML
Today, I was flossing my teeth, which I do only to not get yelled at (chewed out?) by my dentist. Dentist I’ll now be seeing later today because the floss broke off a corner of one of my molars. FML
Today, I went to the dentist. My dentist kept talking to me while his hands were in my mouth. I attempted to tell him that it was difficult and dangerous to respond. My talking made him slip and slice my mouth open with one of his instruments. FML
Today, I bit into a burrito and felt something hard crunch. I spit it out and found a small tooth. It was mine. I'd managed to break my tooth on a burrito. I had to go to the dentist, and the hygienist giggled a bit too much about the reason why it was getting fixed. I now have a strong suspicion of burritos which will probably never go away. FML
Today, I accidentally bit so hard on my fork that I cracked my tooth. FML
Today, I cracked my tooth. I was so tired I put my pretzel stick in my tea and took a bite out of my spoon. FML
Today, I lost a tooth and got my jaw wired shut after my toddler managed to break my jaw by whacking me with a plastic toy. Hello at least 8 weeks of being unable to talk while only eating meals that have been thoroughly blitzed into a liquid form first. FML

I used to have an issue like this too. I found out it was because I tend to push my cheeks in when I chew food, causing me to bite my cheeks a lot. I had to train myself to chew without pushing my cheeks inward and I haven't bit myself once since. Also once you bite yourself once you tend to continue doing it because your cheeks are swollen.

Chew but don't talk. Talk but don't take a bit. Choices choices.

Get your act together NHS. In the meantime, chew slower OP. Those scrambled eggs are not going anywhere.

That happens to me too! Hurts like a bitch and ******* random. I think its because i get distracted while chewing.

Try to instead of sucking while chewing, blow up your cheeks (like your going to blow a candle) while chewing. Its a habit I've taught myself to make less chewing noises while eating. If you don't blow up too much, no one will notice.

This happens to me as well all the time but at least I know why, even though it doesn't stop it from happening as often as it does lol >.< This will probably sound weird, but my tongue is slightly too large for the size of my mouth, so when I eat, I tend to basically tighten in my tongue muscle so it's avoiding being bitten, which then in turn draws my face muscles in so I bite my inner cheek instead. I actually prefer this over biting my tongue - that f'ing hurts! Maybe you have the same issue :P

I am a dentist that practices in Honolulu. I have many patients that bite their cheek on a regular basis. Sometimes the problem is malocclusion and could be corrected with braces. Otherwise, you can train yourself not to bite your cheek by being aware of how you chew your food.

Maybe your teeth are too sharp, file them down. Haha. Or maybe wear a mouth guard all day. May interfere with your speech but hey, no pain ;D
