[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, I would be glad to answer your query, first I would like to inform you that tongue piercing is not at all related to your tooth. But infection following tongue piercing can cause numbness of the tongue, sometimes infection becomes widespread causing sore throat, fever, weakness, etc.I would advise you to kindly remove the piercing and start with an antibiotic course.I hope I answered your query, i wish you good health, take care.
