What are the bad effects of getting your tongue pierced?
Question:
Answers:
I don dental work and let me tell you something
jewelry inside and around the mouth. Most mouth jewelry takes the form of removable studs, hoops or barbell-shaped devices that are purchased commercially. Dentists are often the first to note any harmful effects resulting from the piercing process or the jewelry itself, such as fractures or cracks in the tooth structures caused by a metallic barbell stud. Additional negative effects include:
pain
post-placement swelling
prolonged bleeding
gum injury
permanent numbness
loss of taste
oral hygiene problems
In addition, piercing has been identified by the National Institutes of Health as a possible vehicle for transmission of hepatitis B, C, D and G, and HIV.
you also have to remember
Body piercers are not members of the medical profession
In one case, a teen with a heart defect did not take any preventive antibiotics before the piercing and was unaware of the possible complications of the procedure and its association with the heart defect. The article points out that the needle inserted through the tongue during piercing may have allowed bacteria to enter the bloodstream, resulting in an infection in the heart.
Most episodes of tongue piercing may proceed uneventfully, but the severity of reported complications makes the practice difficult to condone. Body piercers are unlicensed and are not members of the medical profession. Usually, no health histories are taken at tongue-piercing establishments, no emergency kits are available, no preventive antibiotics are used, and no postoperative care after piercing is available.
tongue infections if its not clean
It is extremely gross and ugly looking.
Possible death from infection would be a bad effect.
Dothen't it make you thpeak with a lithp?
you talk slike sthis
It's an incredibly disgusting form of self mutilation.
its quite dangerous...but thats what makes people want to get it...the suspense!
Besides the fact that you have this annoying thing on your tongue 24/7?
i think the worst thing is you get a permanent lisp
Infection, numbness, the rare possibility of cutting off a piece of your tongue if the infection is too widespread, an ugly hole when you aren't wearing the ring, a bump or scar if you remove the piercing and it doesn't heal right
Depends on what type stud and stuff like that. Stud gets infected, you talk werid most people wont let you work there because you will studer.
yeah you can hit a lot of nerves and your mouth is the dirtiest place in your body isn't it? it holds the most bacteria
Well, you could get an infection. Even if you don't, think about what you'll look like with that thing in your tongue when you're 80 years old. That's gross.
hmmmmmm, risking infection.mouth is full of nasty germs. impaction from food being lodged and rotting in the hole... chipping your teeth. swollowing the silly pin when you are drunk.. besides making you talk funny.it looks dumb also.so yesterday, in the fads that already come and gone..
It looks stupid and really trashy.also like you're trying really hard to be different,because you're insecure with your regular self,so you imitate others,which is the opposite of being different.
I have had my tongue peirced 5 times, for various reasons, none regaurding the actually piercing itself. As long as you get plastic balls the chances of cracking your teeth are slim. I bite mine occassionally and nothing bad has ever happened. I say get it!
You can have your tongue swell at anytime for years to come. It affects your speech. And it beats the hell out of your front teeth
Well there is the risk of infection. and yes, you can break a tooth . It's another cavity to catch things in even if it is in your tongue, and tends to give you the look of a person who has no common sense.
well first of all i wouldnt get one because it seems hard toeat with and if it get infected it might be bad and if u want help withthose things of wanting to know wat r the bad effects maybe u should ask the person doing the piercing for you !
I had my tongue pierced for about 8 years, and the balls on my barbell were large. The bottom ball wore a groove into the gums surrounding my bottom two front teeth. I also had a labret that pushed the gums down on the front of those same two teeth. Needless to say, I have had all sorts of problems with my bottom teeth since then.
Piercings are cool for awhile, but they can mess up your teeth or your gums. Plus, everyone has them nowadays. Don't pierce your tongue.
you will be instanly cool and adored by all
and if you really really want to be cool
go ahead and get a little lizard tatoo on your butt
and that will propel you into the statosphere of hipness
and very unique

Dont get it. first reason is infection. second reason is you will be looked bad person by others. Third reason is suspence and you dont want to know it. this tongue piercing is not for nice innocent gurls.
1. If you run it along your teeth it will effect the enamel.
2. If you don't clean it all the time you'll get an infection.
3. If nerves are hit in the piercing process it could damage your taste and loose feeling in your toungue,
4. You have a major artery in your toungue and if they hit that you could have massive blood lose and possibly death.
Its bad for teeth
You do hit a lot of nerves
Cheap kinda rust in your mouth
You can get infected if its not clean
You lose a lot of blood
You're still gonna have it when you turn 90, and I don't think an old lady with a metal stud in her mouth is very charming
If you get a reputable piercer, you keep your piercings and tongue clean, and you buy proper jewelry then you will be fine. For the cleaning I recommend biotene and try to clean it often when it's new. The bad effects happen when you get it done by someone who does not know what they are doing and you don't take proper care of it. You will have dental issues if you grind the ring on your teeth. Some people will look at you badly but most wont.
if they pierce the wrong place, you can lose the movement of your tounge forever. if you pierce it and remove it for a day, it will close.
if you decide to get it pierced, get a vibrating one and then send me a messege. lol
