Child biting tongue10/19/2007 |
my son is 3. Lately anytime he chews food he bites his tongue. He bites it so hard that it bleeds. I try to soothe it with popciciles and ice but he keeps doing it. any suggestions?
Accidental biting of the tongue is common in children, but if it is a continuing problem your child should be examined by a pediatric dentist. It's possible that he has a fractured or decayed tooth with sharp edges that could be a complicating factor.
