Hello. As you have mentioned, you should get your supernumerary teeth extracted; especially when you having tongue bite because of them. Long term or frequent cuts in your tongue or inside of the cheek can induce a traumatic ulcer formation which might later have malignant changes.
Next Steps
Extraction of the supernumerary teeth as soon as possible.
Health Tips
Be aware of any other symptoms regarding the area of bite over the tongue.

Hello. Kindly attach a photo of the concerned region. You require an OPG to determine the position of the teeth. In case of supernumerary teeth, extraction is advised. A clinical as well as radiographic examination is required for accurate treatment planning. Please visit a dentist for definite diagnosis and treatment.

Firstly attach good and clear photographs of that tooth. If they are interfering with tongue or other structures, then you can go for extraction. But still consult doctor online or offline for better guidance and treatment plan options.
