Hello, I have a problem that the flesh inside my cheek is always raw, I think I must bite it when I am asleep, as my jaw has a life of it's own, and shuts tight like a clam; what can I do?

Hi Garance

You will find the advice given on cheek biting caused by clenching and bruxism useful.

Best wishes
