Anxiety and Stress: Tongue chewing can serve as a coping mechanism for individuals experiencing heightened levels of stress, anxiety, or tension.

Sensory Stimulation: Some individuals engage in tongue chewing to seek sensory stimulation or to satisfy an oral fixation. In addition, some people engage in tongue chewing after an initial insult that results in a different sensation on the tongue, a sore, rough, or tender spot that then attracts attention to that spot. Much like chewing gum, tongue chewing is also movement and can satisfy the need to move when one is in a sedentary situation.

Neurological Factors: Certain neurological conditions, such as sensory processing difficulties, Tourette's syndrome, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), may be associated with an increased likelihood of engaging in tongue chewing.
