I was apparently clenching my jaw in my sleep and now the entire left side of my face hurts. Also I feel like my mouth is too crowded and my tongue keeps pressing against my left molars and that hurts. Maybe I slept on that side too long?

Ouch! That happens to me sometimes, too. The dentist told me to try wearing a mouth guard at night, but I couldn’t keep it in.

I was tempted to get one when this used to happen all the time. It’s been a while.

I also just remembered that I bit my tongue last night. And I read allergies can make your tongue feel too big. I’ve been bad about taking my allergy meds and the weather has been weird so that might be it. Or I could be dehydrated. I’m trying some things and seeing if anything works.
