Mouth Piercing

We are sometimes asked for our view on mouth piercing. Piercing the mouth, lips or tongue is NOT recommended for a number of reasons.  There is a high risk of infection, inflammation of the surrounding tissues and even severe blood infections. Piercing the tongue can cause it to swell. It can also affect speech, eating and swallowing and make oral hygiene difficult to maintain. Piercing particularly on the tongue can make dental treatment difficult especially if X-rays are needed.
