Oral Piercings
The result of having a piercing in your mouth is undesirable in several ways. First, improper piercing technique could result in significant bleeding if a blood vessel is in the path of the needle. Second, your body is never fully able to properly line the area around the jewelry at the cellular level, leading to an increased likelihood of infections around the piercing. Third, problems with the gums as well as worn or chipped teeth are all too common side effects over time.
