Joined: Sep 2014 Posts: 87 Likes: 2 | My "new" tongue also stuck out between my teeth in the first few weeks after my partial glossectomy. The swelling reduced and it snuck back behind my teeth where it is supposed to be, after a little while. During this time when part of it rested below my teeth, I couldn't chew very much at all, so I was eating a mostly liquid diet.
