What are the dangers of tongue piercings?

Answer 1

Well you get a sore throat and you develop a fever and your tongue is swollen and very sore, at this point you should have made your way to the hospital. If you haven't the next step would be for the body to go into shock and start shutting down due to septic shock (at this point it's touch and go if you will make it if you haven't gotten to the hospital by now) The next step is for the body to start shutting down and organ failure is almost assured, death is around the corner. This can happen in a window as tight as 48 ~ 72 hours.

But you are a smart bunny and are taking care of your piercing with a good oral rinse twice a day and ice for the swelling. Ensuring you brush your teeth twice a day to keep your mouth happy and healthy. The swelling goes down in two weeks and you get a step down (shorter) barbell in your tongue and you stay on your aftercare for another 4 weeks till you have a good light heal established. And you know if you have any issues with your piercing you will go back to see your piercer asap. Right!, Good I thought so.

# Your tongue is too short,tongue tied" over developed frenial web will cause trouble with tongue movement, healing and placement of the piercing. # Your chicken.................self explanatory. # You have braces or dental work that could be damaged by a barbell in your tongue, dentists and orthodontists hate having to work around oral piercings and will quite often charge more for the hassle as well as ask you to remove the jewellery prior to your visit. # You have rotten teeth, poor oral hygiene oral piercing are not an option and could lead to serious health concerns due to the lack of personal oral health. # Epileptic, this is a serious medical concern and tongue piercing is the last thing you want to think about. The possibility of serious personal injury during a seizure is too great with an oral piercing.
