Problems With Piercing The Mouth!

Keep Your Mouth Free of Piercings!

Family Dentistry with Drs. Ogle, Schmitz, Hart, and Fickas want to promote a healthy mouth.  Piercings that are very popular in the tongue and mouth can lead to many problems.  These piercings may cause infections, pain, and swelling that could be life threatening.  Metal from these piercings can cause allergic reactions and can damage the gums and teeth.  When the piercings are performed,  nerve and blood vessels can be damaged that is a permanent issue.  Piercings in the mouth may interfere with x-rays that are performed.  With the piercings in the mouth,  saliva production is increased and may cause drooling.

If you are a parent,  please guide your children to understand the complications and dangers that can occur with piercings.

If you have piercings visit Family Dentistry on a regular basis.  The key is to be watchful of any concerns with your oral piercings by having regular dental hygiene evaluations.

Drs. Ogle, Schmitz, Hart, & Fickas want to provide a Lifetime of Great Dental Care for the Entire Family!
