Tongue Piercing

 :thumbsup:Tongue piercing can crack or damage your teeth.  If the tongue piercing post is not cleaned daily the bacteria plaque formed on it will cause you to have bad breath.

Brings back memories of my daughter when she got her tongue pierced.  She swallowed her tongue ring.  As a concerned mother, I took her to the ER for the fear of it lodging in the side of her intestines or somewhere like that and causing major infections.  The ER technicians got a real kick out of seeing it in her stomach on the X-ray.  They sent her home with instructions to "sift" if she wanted to use the tongue ring again.  I didn't bother taking her the second time it happened.  I think by the third time she had lost interest and didn't replace it.

Tounge piercing also destroys the enamal on your teeth.

I have had my tongue ring for a little over 10 years.  I have not had any problems with my teeth cracking, breaking, or damaging the enamel.  I also don't have bad breath (believe me, my husband would tell me).  I only remove it once a month to clean it, but I brush my teeth and tongue everyday.  I think it all depends on where the tongue ring is positioned, and how well your genes are.

Not fond of it can't see why anyone would do it, but  to each his own.

I would never get my tongue pierced. The thought of getting that done gives me the creeps

What's your point??? I have several piercings. Its a personal choice and yes, It does take some maintainance to keep it clean, But I don't mind, Because I have something besides a pen top to chew on if I get nervous. Never cracked a tooth with it, and I love it! Too many people get on line and look at the bad things that piercings do on google images or something, and end up taking a stance on it? That's just silly, eventhough its fact~just silly.

I got my tongue pierced ten years ago guess that's when I was going through my little phase even though I did it I don't recommend it to minors.

The tongue doesn't heal as well as most of your body parts :|

Doesn't a tongue ring get in the way and hurt? :-/
I've never had one nor want one, but am just curious...

My friend who has that said that it was quite comfortable to have a tongue ring. But I am not inspired yet.
