HOW DANGEROUS IS TONGUE PIERCING?
Its long been known that piercing the tongue can cause chipped teeth and nerve damage, but new research reveals another danger: the piercing creates a wound that lets bacteria into the bloodstream, which can cause “endocarditis”, an infection of the heart. It can also lead to an infection in the jaw that causes swelling severe enough to block the airway! We dont allow piercing at SMA, but if your child asks, have them speak to a dentist and doctor.
