Is there any negative effect on sucking ur tongue? & if yes why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I don't know: Of any problem per se other than if your tongue is thrusting up against your front teeth during that repeated motion, your front teeth might become labially splayed and get loose eventually. Additionally you may develop a space between them. It doesn't sound like a normal habit. I would try to get out if it. Hope this helps.
