The Effects of Tongue Piercing on Your Oral Health
Recent research has shown that people with tongue piercings may experience more oral health problems than those who do not have a tongue piercing. Those with tongue piercings:
– Are more likely to develop gum disease, damaged gums or an infection.
– May have cracked teeth due to the piercing regularly banging against teeth causing micro-fractures.
– Can reduce the chances of oral complications by keeping the piercing very clean and visiting the dentist regularly.
“Tongue piercings interfere with eating, swallowing and speaking, and cause irritation and damage by constantly rubbing and clicking against the teeth and gums.”
