Tongue Piercing Montage

My healing process (probably longer then average due to my age and the fact it was placed as far back in my mouth as possible) and some helpful hints and tips I picked up in my research prior to getting this done. I am currently working on a video on body modification, which I will probably upload tomorrow.

Thanks for answering :-)

Acrylic balls and smaller balls minimise risks but you are right, they do not reduce them to nil. Don't worry, if after a few months I noice anything negative I will be more interested in preserving my teeth then my tongue piercing. I do not want gum recession or to lose my teeth!

Vaneers would probably be better for me then braces because I have small teeth in a wide jaw and they could move back. I worry that veneers involve damaging the actual tooth underneath tho.

A question for you now -

I am always very interested in what drove people to pursue dentistry as a career. What inspired you to go into this field?

Ok, I lied, two questions :-P -

You can see my teeth in this video, I may want some minor corrective work on my top front teeth from canine to canine. I want to keep the gaps but make my teeth more regular and nicer looking in general. What methods would be best for that kind of work. I assume capping but worry about future repercussions.

"After you first got it done was there any time where it hurt so much that you wanted to take it out?"

Yeah, but it was not the actual tongue that bothered me as much as the web directly below the tongue being rubbed by the 7/8" inital bar when I talked or ate. It became very sore at certain points. Actually piercing the tongue doesn't hurt very much because the piercing goes between the two muscles of the tongue in a natural gap. The swelling for the first 4 days is painful though.

"you just dont look like the type of girl that would be brave enough to get it done?"

I look like a coward? Or I look too smart to compromise the integrity of my teeth? Both???

I have changed the balls on my barbell to something very low profile and have bought some dental acrylic balls for when it is 100% healed (can't use them before then because they cannot be sterilised, risk of infection). These things very much reduce the risk of damage to teeth and gums from tongue piercing.

...irritated from it rubbing and I think I need to change the one underneath to a half ball to make it smaller. My mouth is still healing and adjusting, apparently it takes 4-6 weeks for complete healing so I wont know what it will really be like until perhaps the 6 week mark. I am very happy with it and forget it is there 80% of the time.
