Oral Piercing What You Should Know?
The popularity of intraoral piercing is continually escalating. Intraoral piercing involves the insertion of jewellery into soft oral tissues, such as the lips, cheeks and tongue. Unfortunately, this fashionable trend can have serious health complications. The major risks involved in intraoral body piercing, include;

Although this form of body art is becoming more and more popular among adolescents, it is still not standardised. Many piercing practitioners are not fully licensed and could be inflicting more harm than good. Intraoral piercing is generally performed without any anaesthesia and healing usually occurs within approximately six weeks.
