do yourself a favor and dont get one-I imagine they could cause that problem maybe from food getting trapped in the ring,etc-also theres the danger of infection,nobody can see it anyway,hmmm
Nasty girl. I am sure.
obviously girl.. i have a friend who’s her tongue pierced? its really nasty and every time she talks? creeping foul breathe… even if shes brushes her teeth, think of that.. people think its cool to pierce your tongue or lips but actually it causes health problems, foul ones..
The major cause of bad breath is the bacteria that live on the top of the tongue. To control bad breath you need to clean the top of the tongue. It is possible that the hole made in the tongue for the ring will also collect bacteria and that could cause some bad breath.
There is a great tongue cleaner, called OraBrush, which is both a brush and a scraper. This would allow you to clean around the tongue ring or post. Here is the address if your interested:
