Cheek biting is a habit in which individuals bite the inside of their cheeks, often unconsciously during periods of stress or anxiety. This habit can lead to irritation, swelling, and even sores in the affected areas of the mouth.

Treatment for cheek biting focuses on addressing the underlying cause, such as stress or anxiety, and helping the patient break the habit. Behavioral therapy, relaxation techniques, or even the use of dental devices may be recommended to reduce cheek biting.

In cases where the tissue damage is significant, dental treatment such as the use of oral appliances or topical medications may be required to heal the affected area. The goal is to prevent further damage to the soft tissues and promote healing.

Cheek biting treatment helps improve the patient's comfort and prevents long-term damage to the oral tissues, restoring the health and function of the mouth.
