Body Jewelry and its Effects on Dental Health
Because oral body jewelry, like tongue rings and lip rings are often metal, they have the potential to cause teeth erosion or gum recession. There are horror stories all over the internet about the damages this body jewelry can cause. However, don't forget that there are two sides to every story and that if you take proper care and have regular check-ups, your facial piercings can be perfectly safe.
An easy way to prevent this damage is to use plastic, flexible, Bioplast or Bioplex body jewelry. This is made from a synthetic material that will cause much, much less damage to your gums and teeth. It is softer and more flexible and reportedly the "best material for body jewelry."
This flexible jewerly is available in as many colors and styles as metallic body jewerly as costs about the same. Some report that the balls on Bioplast jewelry tend to become stripped (unable to screw due to ruined threads) more easily than on metal tongue rings but if it will prevent costly dental work in the future, it is worth it.
Dentist reports show that traditional tongue rings, web tongue rings, and even hoop lip rings can be safe for wearers so long as they keep them clean and maintain their regular dental checkups. They also report that having a labret piercing can most easily cause dental damage. The back of the metal ring will constantly touch and rub against the teeth and gums causing enamel erosion or even gum infection.
This is easily preventable by using Bioplast or Bioflex tongue rings. There are dozens of Web sites and many retail stores that sell this kind of body jewelry. Don't sacrifice your oral safety OR your personal style; pierce anything you want just be sure to use the proper materials to prevent and harm.
