  Accessories help express your personality. Earring, belly rings, toe rings—you don’t really give it much thought because the procedure is instant but the results are long-term. But before having your lips or tongue pierced, why don’t you see your dentist first and ask for his or her opinion. Piercings and mouth jewelry may cause mouth sores and infections, which can lead to choking. Piercing can also cause nerve damage and bleeding. As for your teeth, there is the constant danger of chipping and cracking when you accidentally bite the metal jewelry. There are many other ways to show your character aside from mouth jewelry that would be less painful and costly in terms of treatment in the long run.
