Ever bite the underside of your tongue?

Ouch, that smarts! Second time I've done that this month, but I can't figure out how I'm doing it.

1. Hurts like you know what.

3. It does.

And the grapefruit juice this morning was probably the wrong choice.

2. Do you mean the underside only?

I can't figure out how the upper and lower teeth could bite there, unless you curl your tongue.
I have bitten the inside of my cheek, then it seems to swell a little and I bit it again. *OOOWWW*
When I had novocaine once the dentist warned me about that but it happened anyway because I wanted to eat something before the numbing effect wore off.

4. Yes, I managed to bite just the underside of my tongue.

I can't explain how I did it, but it's the same as biting your cheek in that you get that swollen, painful place that you have to be careful of.

5. OMG YES!!!

I’ve done this dozens of times! I can’t understand how my teeth can actually pinch the skin right back where my tongue is anchored in my mouth and yet I continually do this! 😳

6. Same. Maybe our teeth have it out for our tongues.

That would explain a lot.

7. I Though It Was Just Me!!!!

I would ask people if they ever had this happen to them, and everyone thought I was either crazy or trying to be funny. But I do this every once in a while, and it really hurts! Luckily it usually doesn’t bleed, but I have had a couple get ulcerated. I cannot for the life of me figure out how it’s happening!!!!!
