Oral Piercing

Oral piercing (usually on the tongue or around the lips) is one of the more disturbing and common fashion trends in recent years.

What people fail to realise is that even the most cautious installation of oral jewellery can cause cracked, chipped or broken teeth, swelling, problems with swallowing and taste.

The most serious long-term health issue from oral piercing comes in the form of damage to the soft tissues such as the cheeks, gums and palate.

Other significant health problems that could occur from a simple tongue piercing are blocked airways, uncontrolled bleeding or even the possibility of contracting an infectious disease such as hepatitis. If you have an oral piercing you should seriously consider the long-term consequences of keeping it.
