Possibly cheek biting at night ?

[Jade313]

So for a while now I get sore areas on inside of cheeks mostly right side . I have been known to grind my teeth at night but it’s not all the time ! I do have the typical white line on cheeks which is an indication that I am biting my cheeks. I also have TMJ where my jaw pops etc anyone else get sores like this from biting ? I do have a habit of sucking in my cheeks especially in the evening when I’m relaxed and I don’t realise I’m doing it sometimes. I’m due to go back to my ENT specialist on Thursday , saw him a few weeks back for globus sensation. I also have health anxiety so this could be a factor. Sorry for pic ( I hate mouth photos )

I ama cheek biter and I suspect you are doing it during the day without realising it. I know I suddenly realise I am doing it. Also, when I was younger I would often bit my cheeks when I was eating and that would make them sore.

I’ve had this recently. I ate one meal where it was constantly happening and I also woke myself up from biting my cheek in the night.

@Rocknrollstar yes I have caught my mouth a few times especially while eating , iv even bitten the side of my tongue and inner corner of lip . It’s so annoying but again, I do have pretty bad health anxiety so I know that’s probably not helping !
