Thinking about an oral piercing? We hope you’ll think again.
Yes, tongue, lip and even cheek piercings have become more and more popular, and at first glance they appear to be harmless. But having a mouth piercing can cause both minor and major health problems, possibly even life threatening ones.
A few of the reactions or issues that can arise from a piercing include:
- Damage to teeth and fillings
- Infection and swelling (which includes a good deal of pain)
- Drooling (which counteracts the cool, sexy look you may be hoping for)
- Scar tissue
- Nerve damage (your tongue could go numb and loose the ability to taste, permanently)
- Gum injuries
- Severe blood loss if the piercing goes wrong
If these reasons aren’t enough for you to reconsider your choice, please give our office a call. We have some pictures of our pierced patients we’d love to share with you.
Ready to Get Rid of Your Migraine?
Maybe you saw it on Good Morning America and thought it sounded too good to be true. Well now you can try it out for yourself and feel the difference. The NTI-tss is a small mouthpiece that fits over your front teeth. Lawrence J. Larsen can fit the device for you in his office.
In clinical trials reviewed by the FDA, 82 percent of medically diagnosed migraine sufferers had a 77 percent average reduction of migraine pain attacks within the first eight weeks of use. This also reduces the need for other medications, so not only can you be free of pain, but you can reduce or give up a dependency on pills as well. Please contact our office today for more information, or to schedule a fitting.
