Ouch!!! There is a simpler way - take a drink of water! Failing that, have a small lolley that you can place between your teeth and cheeks.

Allow me to suggest one twist: The tongue is vital to articulation. Biting it even gently (especially repeatedly) might cause pain and affect your speech. The alternative is to gently bite the inside of your cheek. The same result with less possibility for damage. Of course, having a glass of water handy is also a must for any speaker.
