The oral piercings pose more risk than placed in the ear
What are the risks of this type of piercing ?
You may not aware that the side effects of oral piercings . These effects are :
Infection - The mouth contains millions of bacteria that can cause infection after an oral piercing . Touching the metal parts after placed in mouth also increases the risk of getting an infection .
Prolonged bleeding - When a blood vessel is punctured by the needle during the placement procedure , there may be bleeding difficult to control with excessive blood loss .
Pain and swelling - are common symptoms of oral piercings . In more serious cases , the swollen tongue can actually close off the airway and restrict breathing .
Damaged teeth - contact with the jewelry can fracture teeth . Teeth with restorations - such as crowns or caps - can also be damaged by metal parts .
Injury to the gums - Metal parts can not only injure the gum tissue that is sensitive , but can also cause gum recession . Gingival recession is unsightly and makes your teeth more vulnerable to decay and periodontitis .
Interference with the normal function of the mouth - Jewels increase saliva production , preventing you pronounce words correctly and cause problems with chewing .
Blood-borne diseases - The piercing mouth was identified by NIH as a possible mode of transmission of hepatitis B , C , D and G.
Endocarditis - Oral piercing can cause endocarditis , an inflammation of the heart valves or tissues . The wound caused by piercing gives the bacteria in the mouth the opportunity to enter the bloodstream and can reach the heart .
How long does a piercing ?
If you do not contract any infection and your oral piercings do not interfere with the normal functions of the mouth , can be used permanently. But be sure to go to the dentist if you experience any kind of pain or some other problem . Because of the risks involved even after the wound piercing disappears ( as is the case of swallowing loose parts or damage the teeth ) , the best thing is to avoid oral piercings .
