tongue

I have a question on my tongue. i have 2 teeth missing on the bottom right side. this forced me to chew for 2 years on my left side. when i look at my tongue at rest in my mouth, it saggs in that area. now if i stick it out to a piont, it curves to the right . can missing teeth cause your tongue to change shape like this. thank you

Your tongue can accomodate the space where the teeth are missing.
