Piercings can be applied to any part of our body. Whether on the eyebrow or the belly button, it is merely a matter of taste. What matters, however, is that inserting a metal object can lead to infections of varying severity. For this very reason, when a piercing is placed on delicate parts of the body, such as the lips and tongue, you must be extremely careful and rely on reputable professionals. <\/p>\n
First and foremost, it is crucial that the instruments used are properly sterilised and that the piercers have the necessary knowledge and skills to perform the procedure safely.<\/p>\n
Subsequently, you should increase your dental check-ups, as the presence of a foreign object in your mouth could damage your teeth or cause gum infections.<\/p>\n
According to research conducted by the University of Buffalo Dental School, for instance, the constant movement of a piercing against the upper teeth while speaking or eating can push the incisors apart over time.<\/p>\n
A piercing could therefore chip or shift your teeth, creating abnormal gaps known as diastemas. Furthermore, without proper oral hygiene, a piercing could cause gum infections, leading to a risk of recession or, even worse, the formation of periodontal pockets. <\/p>\n
To prevent all of this, we at Freesmile advise you to increase your check-ups with your trusted dentist and to take better care of your oral hygiene. Brush your teeth at least twice a day and do not forget to use mouthwash and dental floss! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
