Tounge ring teeth discoloration?!


Question: i got my tounge pierced about a month ago now and before i had my tounge pierced i would brush my teeth once a day in the morning and occasionally use mouthwash i had white healthy clean teeth. i got my tounge pierced so i started brushing before i wnet to bed and when i woke up and at first when i got my tounge pierced i used mouthwash after everytime i ate for the first week and a half hten i would just rinse my mouth out with water. well in this past week i was looking at my teeth andaround my gums there is a brown stain. and at first i just figured it was from hot chocolate or something and i let it pass. well a few days passed and the colooring is still there and so i flossed and it was still there i even took one of those teeth scraper things the dentist has and it wouldnt come off. why is it that the more i brush and take care of my teeth the worse they get? can it be the metal in my mouth turning the teeth part right around my gums a brownish color?

If it has been a while since you have been to the dentist then I suggest a cleaning. They can get the stuff off your teeth that you can't. I even tried the scraper you mentioned. It had been a while since I had been to one and I was taking care of my teeth like you do. The tools dentist have and the training are far better than what we have availible to us. Come to find out I had stuff on my teeth below my gum line and tarter, which is the brownish stuff you are refering to. I was using whitening tooth paste and not getting great results. I got a cleaning below and above the gum line and an electric tooth brush. My teeth felt better and I get great results with the whitening tooth paste.I doubt it's the tounge ring. Maybe change it out or just make sure it's the high quality jewlery.

i have my tounge done and i have never had that problem

Use that tounge ring on me and I'll make your teeth white again.

Do your teeth look two toned, like browner on the bottom "half" or clear? If so, you need to clean your teeth, either by having the dentist do it or buying a kit yourself. Of course it could be from the tongue ring, but I wouldn't know that. I'd be suspicious if it started when you got it. Your dentist would know for sure.

I don't think so. I have a lip ring and it doesn't affect my teeth at all. If it concerns you, ask your piercer or dentist. It might just be a stain that the dentist needs to remove with a polishing.

it could be, but since you are brushing your teeth daily, discoloration of your teeth should not occur, consult a qualified dentist.
