Tongue biting. ouch!
Thu, 06/04/2009 - 21:16This might sound like an odd question but have any fellow 'tongue biters' out there ever discussed the issue with your dentist? Are there any techniques for reshaping the inside tooth edges to reduce the damage when tongue biting? Are there any special caps that can be put on certain teeth? Does anyone use a mouth guard at night to mitigate biting during a night time seizure?
Any tips on reducing the effects of tongue biting very much appreciated. Tongue biting isn't just physically sore but it's a constant reminder after a seizure that zaps the spirit.
