Lip ring rubbing gums and tooth???!


Question: Lip ring rubbing gums and tooth!?!?!?
I just got my lip pierced and the bar is pretty long to make room for swelling apparently!. However, every time I talk i can feel the ring rubbing against my tooth and sometimes against my gum!. I was wondering if I changed the jewelry to a smaller bar, would that fix the problem!? I have to wait for two weeks to change it though--could any permanent damage to my tooth/gums happen in 2 weeks!?!? ThanksWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It is possible that it could erode your gums and chip the enamel on your teeth!. This happened with my tongue ring rubbing on the backs of my bottom 2 teeth and gums, and I had to take it out!. I can't imagine that happening in 2 weeks though, so just change it ASAP!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had my lip pierced and it was in the wrong spot and rubbed away at my gum, I almost needed to get a graft done, now years later it's ok and you can't tell!. A friend of mine had her tongue pierced and it did over $500 worth of damage to her teeth!. Oral piercings can do damage, it would be a good idea to get your dentist to have a look, if you can get past the lecture first!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I used to have a lip ring and I had the same problem!. I kept going smaller to see if that would help but eventually i got one that was too small and it sort of got embedded in my lip!. It was really gross!.


Also, my tooth is permanently damaged from the like 4 months that I had the lip ring!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
