Just wondering, when normal ppl relax their tongue(like usual), does your tongue touch the teeth in front of you? When I relax my toungue, it tends to push against the teeth or touch it slightly, is it normal? I start to feel little bit uncomfortable, like bounded to something.
When I say words like "floor" "fly", I tend to touch my front teeth a bit with the L sound(not on purpose, just when it touches the roof, it touches the teeth sometimes too, I think causes my toungue is pushed a bit more forward than others), is it normal? Or should ordinary toungue never even close to touch the teeth at all when pronouncing these words?
I think mayb I developed a bad habit of pushing the tongue foward by practising the "TH" too much, also I mistakenly replace all the "t" with hard "th" sound, that ruins my tongue's structure, that it tends to be more forward all the time. But still I am not too sure if i am. Please help me answer the above, so I can compare. Thank you very very much.

O.k. you made me think and mine touches my teeth when I'm just relaxed and I tried saying the words/sounds and mine does then also so its not just you and I don't have a long tongue.

When I relax, my tongue also touches. And saying the words "floor" or "fly, mines touches the front teeth too. I think that's normal. It helps to form the words. Now I have everyone here at work trying. Haha. Yeah, they all do the same, lol. Looks like it's normal. When ppl have dentures and take them out to talk, it's harder cuz the teeth arent' there. I think that's normal. Good luck!

You have too much time on your hands.
Everything you describe is perfectly normal. You have no symptoms of "tongue thrust" or a too-large tongue.
