Why do I bite my cheeks every time I get anxious?

August 11th, 2011
Q.

Hi Simon, I know this isn’t really a dental phobia question but every-time i get stressed or anxious I begin to chew and bite the insides of my mouth, mostly the insides of my cheeks. I’av done this for as long as I remember but really need to stop doing as the inside of my mouth is rather a mess. My dentist keeps warning me to stop but doesn’t give me any advice, so hopefully you could, thanks

Thanks alot

Bulimia wrecked my teeth, what do I do now?

August 4th, 2011
Q.

Iam 21 and have terrible teeth, someone 99 probably has better looking teeth than me, it really affects my everyday life and makes it unable to talk to people.
