Is it normal for a teeth/gums to feel a little affected from a tongue piercing.?

Posted on May 20, 2011

I got my tongue pierced Wednesday night & I`ve been dealing with the little regular side effects of getting one. BUT one feeling that I have gotten is from my teeth.

One of my front bottom teeth has that little feeling you get when you`re little . . . like it`s about to be loose.

The feeling got stronger . . . .then it faded away.
I haven`t hit my ring on my teeth., haven`t bit my teeth down on my ring or anything.
When I ran my fingers along my front bottom teeth, the feeling felt sore. The pain has gone, but I`m still worried about it.
Also is swelling under the chin && the throat area common.?

Because I`m ready to take it out now.

Any suggestions for repeat canker sores?

Posted on May 19, 2011

I've been getting canker sores for about 11 years now. I usually go a few months or even over a year in between "outbreaks". Which usually consists of one or two sores at a time. But about three months ago I got a huge canker sore on my left cheek, the next morning I had a second one on the left cheek, then two on the right cheek. Two on the left side of my tongue, one almost back in my throat. They take forever to heal, mostly cause they're so large but also because my cheeks are so irritated by the large sores they swell a little and my teeth constantly rub against them even when I all do is open my mouth or reflexively swallow. After two weeks they finally went away. Two weeks later they were back, all of them, the exact same spots. A month after the beginning of that outbreak the same batch returned again. This time with a little one on my left cheek by the corner of my mouth.
Any ideas on what's going on? Or, how to deal with it?
Anybody know of toothpaste brands that don't use sodium laurly sulfate?
What doctor do you go and see for canker sore issues? A general doctor, dentist, any others?

I used to wear braces but i got them taken off and now i wear retainers. But my problem is that i woke up one day and found 3 canker sores on the inside of my lower lip and then found a white bump on my tongue. I can barely eat cause i am in pain just because of it. Basically my mouth is in pain alot. What causes this? and how to prevent this ?

Teeth/Gum damage with tongue piercing?

Posted on May 17, 2011

I'm thinking of getting my tongue pierced, but don't want to damage my teeth and gums., cause my parents spent a small fortune to fix them. If i don't play with the barbell balls can i still do damage to your teeth/gums? Also does your tongue lose feeling and taste where the hole is?
Also when i got my braces taken off i got a permanent wire glued behind my upper and lower front teeth, so there is dental cement and an inch long wire covering where my gum line is. Can i still have damage done to my gums?

How do i get rid of canker sores?

Posted on May 17, 2011

I have a terrible canker sore problem. I dont remember the last time i didnt even have one.
a month or two ago i had a canker sore that was about an inch long on the side of my mouth.
last month I had 14 canker sores under my tongue and 3 in other parts of my mouth.
and now i have two under my lip. It seems as though every single time my canker sores go away, they appear again only in different areas of my mouth. how do i fix this problem? i've gone to the doctor and they just gave me a "magic mouthwash" to use for one week.
i also have braces but i've had this problem before i've ever gotten them also
