While tongue piercings are an expression of growing individuality, they can have a serious impact on oral health. Tongue piercings can result in infections, blood clots, blood poisoning, chronic pain, damaged nerves, fractured teeth, periodontal disease, scarring and more. We encourage teens to forego intraoral body piercings to protect their oral health.
