Tongue piercings can result in damage to your teeth and gums in a few different ways:
- They can bang against your teeth resulting in tiny fractures that eventually become more serious cracks causing sensitivity.
- They can irritate the gums and leave the mouth more prone to infection and gum disease.
- If removal of the piercing isn't possible, immaculate oral health can minimise any complications arising; your dentist will advise further.
"American Dental Association spokesman Dr. Tyrone Rodriguez compares tongue piercings to "little wrecking balls" inside the mouth."
