Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

YES
HOW/WHY?
BY ACCIDENTALLY BITING HARD ON THE METAL BALL AND FRACTURING A MOLAR

I'VE REPAIRED SOME, AND PULLED OTHERS



YES! it can chip the teeth
Also it can lead to infection of the tongue which tracks down your neck compromising breathing (uncommon & most likely when healing after piercing - but still a possibility)
Also - the ball part of the ring if it comes off can be swallowed (not so bad) or inhaled and end up in your lung - so if you have a tongue piercing best not to have a plastic ball, have a metal one, so it does go missing it will show up on xrays



yes it can do alot of damage, if you play with it to much or bite down on it while eating it can break your teeth and it cancreate ulcers on the top of your mouth as well.



Yes. It can chip teeth, or it can eventually lead to spaces in between your teeth if you play with it a lot and push it up against them.
