I have been biting the inside of my cheeks and mouth for 3 years now,it is annoying and a bad habbit but my question is : is that unhealthy ?

Dr. Jihad Achkar Otolaryngology (ENT)
Yes this is definitely unhealthy. The constant irritation to the mucosal surfaces, such as in cases of poor fitting dentures, has been linked to premalignant and (rarely) malignant transformations in oral mucosa. I suggest you keep that in mind.
