I read somewhere that the inside of the mouth can only be bitten if you try to chew and swallow at the same time. I used to bite both my tongue and cheek on a daily basis. Since I have been making sure that I stop chewing before I swallow (a couple of years now) the problem has almost ceased to exist. BTW it is easier to control this if you keep to a minimum the amount of food being chewed at any one time. I have no idea if there is any scientific basis for this - but it works for me.
