Am I just built different or am I doing something wrong? How did I cut my cheek?!

    How's your overall mouth health? Brushing everyday, flossing, etc? Bad oral hygiene can weaken the tissues inside there, making you more prone to cuts, bleeding etc.

      I brush every day and floss at least every other day. I don't bleed too much when cut and my mouth heals pretty fast from damage like this. It's just weird.

      I have Ehlers Danlos syndrome and that affects tissues, so that might be it.

      I just wanted to blame toasted bread. I thought we all were acting against our better judgment to consume the food of the gods.

        Something you could try is frying the bread in a pan. I do that for some sandwiches, and it gives the bread the toasty flavor but it doesn't harden like it does in a toaster.
