mikeG Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 My wife often bites the back of her tongue when sleeping, making it extremely sore. Don't know if dentists/doctors can help but I'd welcome any feedback from anyone who has suffered with the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Can you get mouth guards or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeG Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 She's tried mouth guards but they make her gag, feel a bit sick etc. Maybe she might have to persevere with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdbx Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Its often caused by not talking enough during the day Has she tried sleeping a different way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister M Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Sometimes bruxism (grinding of teeth) can be a side effect of some medications. Might be worth reviewing what tablets your wife takes to see if they are the cause. http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/teeth-grinding/Pages/Introduction.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
