Oral Piercings Have Negative Impact on Oral
Health
Before you have your tongue, lip or cheek
pierced, there are a few things you should know. Mainly the fact that what most
people don't realize is that piercings can have a negative impact on your oral health,
which can result in you spending more time at your dentist than needed.
The first things you will find when you pierce
in or around your mouth is that you may find it difficult to chew, swallow and
speak. This is completely normal due to a foreign object, which may be giving
you some discomfort has moved into the space. Your mouth is imperative to your
health, it is what you use to nourish your self and you need to be able to
swallow. You may find, especially after
tongue piercing, that your speech is affected for a couple of days to a
few weeks.
Infections
As with any piercing the risk of infections
increases. Whether you have your ears pierced, your belly button pierced or
your tongue pierced you need to keep the area clean and free of harmful bacteria.
You may notice some pain and swelling, which should clear up soon after the
piercing. In the event you don't get any relief within a few days, make an
appointment with your doctor or dentist to ensure the site isn't infected.
Damage teeth and gums
Next you will find, especially with tongue
piercings, that your gum, teeth and any previous fillings may be damaged. As
you speak, eat and swallow, the stud may move around your mouth, knocking
against your teeth and gums in the process, in turn this can cause significant
damage. Remember your stud is made of strong metal which is hard inside your
mouth and therefore increases the risk of chipping or cracking teeth.
Nerve damage
When the piercing is done it is very easy for
the piercing to damage a nerve. This can go two ways, it can either numb the
area completely as the nerve has no feeling or it can have the opposite effect,
leaving you in unbearable pain and not knowing which way to turn to find
relief.
A dentists nightmare
While you may think your new piercing looks
cool, you need to remember that it is your dentists worst nightmare. It can
make working inside your mouth exceptionally difficult, it can make it harder
to reach problem teeth or use certain tools.
