Oral Piercing

Oral piercings (usually in the tongue or around the lips) have quickly become a popular trend in today’s society.  With this popular trend, it is important to realize that sometimes even precautions taken during the installation of the piercing jewelry are not enough to stave off harmful, long-term consequences such as cracked or chipped teeth, swelling, problems with swallowing and taste, and scars. There is also a possibility of choking on a piece of dislodged jewelry, which makes it important to ask if the risks are warranted.

One of the most serious long-term health problems that may occur from oral piercings come in the form of damage to the soft tissues such as the cheeks, gums and palate, as well as opportunistic infections. When performed in an unsterile environment, any kind of body piercing may also put you at risk of contracting deadly infectious diseases such as HIV and hepatitis.

A tongue piercing is a common form of body piercing. However, tongue piercings have been known to cause blocked airways (from a swollen tongue). In some cases, a tongue piercing can cause uncontrolled bleeding.

    What I thought was to be a very unpleasant experience , turned out to be a pleasant one. Had a filling and a extraction done the same day!!! The Dr. And his staff are professional and very personable. Thanks to all at All Care Dental office.

    This was my first real experience with Dr. Vondra and his staff. I explained to him my concerns prior with ensuring the numbness during this procedure, especially due to the length. They were TOP notch in explaining what was taking place and checking the level of my comfort throughout. Thank you.
