 Tongue piercings
may be trendy, but biting down on the metal stud can crack a tooth. Lip
piercings pose a similar risk. And when metal rubs against the gums, it can
cause gum damage that may lead to tooth loss. The mouth is also a haven for
bacteria, so piercings raise the risk of infections and sores. Bottom line,
discuss the health risks with your dentist first.
