Mary-- I also do that but not as badly as Jamie. As you know, once you bite it, it's all the easier to bite it again because of the swelling. I got a bottle of ORA5, it's called, from my dentist. It's an oral bactericidal agent for oral mucosa, according to the label. It really speeds healing of sores anywhere in the mouth. I feel for him because the pain really kills the joy of eating. Keep us posted if you find a good cure for the problem.
