Oral piercing can be done on the tongue, lips or cheek. Like earrings, metal jewelry used in oral piercings comes in a variety of styles, including stud earrings, barbells, and hoop earrings.
What are the risks of oral piercing? Experts say that dental health should be taken into account when considering the possibility of a piercing, but most people treat this issue quite superficially.
So, before you decide to do this procedure, you should consult with your dentist and be informed about the possible side effects of oral piercing. Why? When you puncture a muscle of this size (the tongue), there is a possibility of excessive bleeding, given that it is highly vascularized. Immediately there will be difficulties in speaking, chewing and even swallowing. Risks that can endanger the life of the wearer include infection. Basically, the oral cavity contains many bacteria, so oral piercing can cause an infection. If you play with your earrings after fitting, you are again at risk of infection. The infection can also be caused by the non-sterilized instruments with which the operation was performed. They can transmit many diseases, such as Hepatitis B, C, tetanus, syphilis, tuberculosis, the HIV virus.
If you notice any of the following symptoms after getting a piercing, you should immediately schedule a consultation with your dentist to treat the condition: a yellowish or greenish fluid emanating from the area of the piercing; soft tissue, in the form of a scar, which forms around the perforation, acquiring a darker shade; the appearance of a swelling having the appearance of an abscess in the area of the perforation; bleeding after the initial healing of the perforation.
