#1 Tongue Piercings
Your mouth is an environment that is always moist and brimming with bacteria, which makes it a haven for infections. The risk of infection rises when you have a tongue piercing because you are essentially making a hole where there isn’t one already. Most dental professionals will tell you that a mouth piercing will be fine with proper cleaning, but they won’t tell you that the majority of tongue piercings result in infections and chipped teeth.
The bacteria and plaque that gather in the area around the piercing can lead to swelling and infection, which can ultimately lead to sore and inflamed gums, bad breath, and sometimes even tooth decay. Additionally, rubbing jewelry against teeth repeatedly can lead to wear and chipping, which over time can worsen dental issues. Even though the risks are not life-threatening, it’s still essential to be aware of them before deciding to get your tongue pierced.

Very good advices.Thank you.
Good information. I hate to do this but I’m going to be taking care of my teeth without the dentist from now on. I recently moved and have a very good dental insurance plan. The new dentist claims he saw a crack in my lower crown. Long story short, and over $3000 out of pocket later, he cracked the molar next to the crown while trying to fix it. So first crown was replaced and second tooth repaired. But when he was working on the second tooth, he cracked the one next to it! Still waiting over a month for him to fix this but my calls are never returned. So now the dental company is involved and I was told I may need a lawyer.
Get a good personal injury lawyer and sue his ass but good. Sounds to me like a whole lot of pain and suffering and irreparable damage to two otherwise healthy teeth, which will now require preventative care for the rest of your life. Even more damaging if you’re young!
I am in my mid 80’s getting my teeth cleaned soon. My dentist said I have a cavity under my crown
in fact two crowns. very expensive to repairs even with insurance don’t have the finds. Should I bother?
