How do i stop myself from biting my cheeks?

i bite the inside of my cheeks all the time, most of the time i dont even noice im doing it. the dentist said i need to stop, and if i dont this can turn into some type of cancer.

so any advise on how to stop?

Answer:
Very simple...you want to die of cancer? Yes?
Continue biting your cheeks.

What?! You DON'T want to die of cancer?!
Stop biting your cheeks!

You're the one doing it..you're the one to stop it...simple.
This is probably due to anxiety. I was clenching my jaw unintenionally and am now taking medication that i dont' want to be taking. It does seem to be helping, but w/o medication you should try yoga.
cut them off.no cheeks equals no problem! :)
get a night guard to wear when you sleep, for awake hours go and see a doctor, he can probably prescribe you some anti-anxiety medicine, seems to me like you have a lot of stress.
Ha! ya learn some thing new every day. I have the same problem, but I didnt know it creates cancer.
i have the same problem. i try to chew gum when i actually notice it. didn't know about the cancer thing though that makes me nervous which makes me bite my cheek which causes cancer...I'm gonna have a long day!
how about you chew chewing gum instead you bite your cheeks. i'm sure it tastier than your cheeks
try rolling your tung long ways you probobly do this when your thinking or are nervouse about something you have to train yourself gum dont work you just bite your tong ouch its like training your nose lots of people go round saying i cant smell but dont stop to smell diferent things to train the nose to pick up
used to do that a lot of times when i was 'fat' now that i have lost weight, it has ceased.

has something to do with fat cheeks:)

so lose weight so you have nothing to chew on.

take care!
