What is the reason for the tongue to be bitten by teeth?

Sometimes people suddenly cover their mouths and make a very painful expression while eating. This is basically because their tongue is bitten by their teeth while eating. Most people have encountered this situation, accounting for more than 95%. Sometimes it's just a random thing. However, some people often encounter tongue bites by teeth. So what causes tongue bites by teeth?

Woolen cloth? Next, let’s understand the reasons together.

But more people have bad tooth occlusion. Let’s first study our gums. If we clench our teeth, most people’s upper teeth will cover the outside of the lower teeth. This is because our upper dental arch is a larger horseshoe shape, and the lower dental arch is a smaller horseshoe shape. Our tongue is protected by the "little horseshoe" of the lower dental arch. When eating normally, the upper teeth bite the outside of the lower teeth, and the tongue is safer. But some people are born unlucky, with a smaller upper dental arch, so when they bite down, it is closer to the tongue, making it easier to bite.

But some people have a small dental arch inside their upper teeth, that is, the "big teeth" grow too close to the inside, which makes it easy to bite, and it is also very characteristic. Such people are more likely to bite the root of their tongue. Quickly clench your teeth, lick around with your tongue and see how your bite is. However, don't be afraid even if it doesn't meet the standards. Doctors still have a way to deal with this kind of teeth. Wear braces for a period of time and adjust the row of teeth, and your tongue can be saved from the fate of being damaged.

In addition to biting the tongue while eating, some people bite it when sleeping at night. This is nothing strange, some people even talk in their sleep. When we eat during the day, our teeth move consciously and our tongue cooperates consciously. When we sleep at night, some people's teeth move unconsciously, and if the tongue does not know how to avoid it at this time, it will be bitten by the teeth. People with bruxism have their teeth edges sharpened, making it easier for them to bite their tongue and do so more severely.

Through the above detailed introduction to the main reasons for the tongue being bitten by teeth, for those who often encounter tongue bites by teeth, it may be a good idea to go to the dentist to check the gums. But for people who do not often encounter tongue bites by teeth, they should pay more attention in daily life to avoid eating too fast and biting their tongue.
