Answers:
Tongue piercing is a personal preference that I would not choose for myself, but I know many people do!. I personally have no problem with people expressing themselves with piercings (I have a nose piercing), but as a certified dental assistant, I know what the dangers are of tongue piercings!.
The possibility of infection is great! Since there are literally billions and billions of germs in your mouth, placing an extra hole in your mouth just leaves that hole vulnerable to infection, until it heals!. And believe me, there are PLENTY of people that get infections!.
Tongue piercings are very painful until they heal!.
Tongue piercings can eventually destroy your front teeth from the tongue bar continuously hitting or rubbing up against your front teeth!. The bars eventually wear away the enamel on your teeth, creating additional problems associated with your teeth, including massive pain!. Once the enamel is gone, the dentinal tubules (microscopic "holes" in the teeth) are exposed, which creates massive pain, on the same order of a massive toothache when a cavity is there!. This in turn, will create the need for further dental care, which could include anything from crowns (caps) to partial dentures to implants!.
The only pro, besides them looking nice, is that the mouth is one of the fastest healing parts of the body!. So, a tongue piercing will heal faster than say, a nose piercing, but that is only if the area does not get infected!. If I were you, I would not get it, but like I said before, it is strictly your personal preference!. Oh, and by the way, I think a teen 18 or older should be the only ones allowed to get tongue piercings, unless parental consent is given!. I hope my little post has helped you make a decision!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I can't think of a single pro personally!.!.!.!.sorry
Cons -
Death- either from piercing an artery or vein!.
Infection- leading to death or just making you very sick!. You have over 500 bacteria that can live in your mouth!. You are giving them an opening into your blood stream!.
Breaking Teeth - One wrong chew and oops cracked a tooth!.
Gum Tissue Recession - Rubbing on the same area of your gum can eventually cause recession, which in turn leads to bone loss and then tooth loss!. I have seen this happen to some one in her 20's!!
Can't imagine needing to list anymore!. Here is website I found with more information!.
I think 18 should be the youngest age allowed to pierce without a consent!.

VERY outdated!.!.!. i got it done when i was 14 (with an altered school id) and i am now 22!.!.!. and it was sorta outdated even then!.!.!. but i didnt care!. The other thing is it totally screws up your teeth and your teeth are importanntttttt!. I ended up taking mine out when i was about 17!.!.!. and my mom was nice enough to pay for me to have some cosmetic stuff done on my teeth (expensivee)!.!.!. so no more tongue rings for me!. I hate the way it looks when youre teeth are chipped!.!.!. and trust me!.!.!. they'll get chipped even with a plastic barbell!. Its not worth it!.!.!. and theyre not even cool anymore (when i see girls with them i think theyre gross looking!.!.!. like go back to the 90s and put your tongue back in your mouth stop showing off) i hate girls who stick out their tongues JUST to show off their tongue rings!.!.!. although i did it too, but i have an excuse because i was a dumb teenaged girl!.!.!. trust me!.!.!. youll get sick of it fast!. PS its funny you posted this in the dental section, im sure if you posted this somewhere else youll get much more positive responses!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
i'm 19 and i have my tongue pierced and i love it! it's a cute accessory to my look and i love the attention!. and you get to change the jewelry!. i see nothing wrong with it!. i've had it for a while now and when i take it out i feel naked ahaha!. when i got it done of course there was some pain and swelling, but after that it was completely fine!. and it only takes about 6 weeks to heal!. i've had no further problems with it!. if i had to do it all over again i would!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I fail to even think of a single "pro" to a tongue piercing, so there's no need to go into detail!. It is a purely aesthetic thing, which really has no appeal to me (if that wasn't already clear enough)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
