It appears several people have had this problem, and I really appreciate all the information. Bob is using Peroxyl, a mouthwash with peroxide in it, and says it helps a lot. Dennis (I think it was) suggested Bob be careful about not chewing and swallowing at the same time. Bob insists he doesn't, and your comment, Brian, about needing a long checklist to remember everything hit the mark. Bob also uses Kankaid, which soothes the bitten places. What I don't understand is why he can go for months without biting the inside of his mouth, and then it happens several times. Oh well -- everyone's sharing helped a lot and I think you for it.
