Not talking about the neighbor's dogs this time, but my two upper jaw canines, which are apparently too big: once again having to take time off the sax because I've bitten a bleeding wound into the inside of my lower lip while having supper; and in a few days it'll turn into a blister that's sore enough for a week or so, so as to discourage all but the most loathsome of saxophonic cravings.
So the question is, does anyone else suffer or know someone who suffers from frequently accidentally biting their lip while talking or eating, and how do they cope with it? Is there a dental procedure to file or otherwise reduce the size of the offending canines? The blisters my bites make are often almost a centimeter wide, and there's no way to handle the saxophone mouthpiece (or a trumpet or horn mouthpiece for that matter) without aggravating them.
