Tongue piercing: 9 problems that may cause!

The tongue piercing has become in recent years a fairly widespread fashion among both sexes. But it is good to know that there are contraindications to this practice since the problems that piercing can give over time are so many and of different severity.

Tongue piercing: risks and contraindications
Of course, tongue piercing brings with it some contraindications, and if not treated correctly, also risks especially because it is located in the oral cavity, as well as the labret. Following the operation, the tongue tends to swell and hurt a little for a few days. If no complications appear, the piercing heals within about a month. In the first few days, it can be difficult to articulate words and eat.

If you run into an infection, the situation worsens, as medical attention is required. Another contraindication is the rejection of the jewel, given by the material that can trigger an allergy: in this case, it is enough to change the piercing with one of a different material. Bacterial substances also tend to settle on the tongue, which in the presence of an external element such as piercing, can multiply giving rise to bad breath problems.
The problems also affect the teeth, which are often subject to abrasion. In fact, the materials with which the piercings are made are very hard and could file the internal surface of the teeth, or even break them with blows and microtraumas. From the point of view of the gums, these too can suffer wounds and erosions, which in the most serious cases lead to gingival regression.
