Answer 1

I'm not sure on the exact medical reasoning but I have read that it is more dangerous to get piercings on the nose, lips and tongue because if they get infected the infection can spread very quickly (probably because it's around your mouth and sinuses) and is usually much worse than other piercings (ear and belly button). I'd assume that since you are prone to mouth ulcers that you have a higher risk of getting an infection in a tongue piercing which is why you are recommended not to get one there. Tongue piercings can also damage teeth and dental work. Just something to keep in mind.

Answer 2

Any piercing is going to wreck. How lots relies upon on the place that's pierced and the way huge the piercing is. Piercing the tongue pierces a muscle, which has many nerves in it. which will sting as though a bee or wasp have been given into your mouth. that's going to in all threat impact your braces, fantastically while your tongue brushes or pushes against your the teeth. I strongly propose speaking on your dentist and orthodontist approximately that.

the tongue piercing won't cause more ulcers, or make a difference to the ones you already have (unless they're in a location where it would rub them). make sure you're healthy at the time of piercing - you don't want to overload your immune system with piercing healing and ulcers!

there are some warnings that come with tongue piercings - chipped teeth are possible, although it helps if you get plastic balls for the bar. personally, i've never had any problems with mine, and it healed quickly without problems. basically, get it pierced profesionally, keep it clean (follow the piercer's instructions) and if in doubt, ask!

Possible risks:
Like anything in life, piercing your navel or any other part of your body carries some risks with it. You are deliberately opening a wound in your body, and forcing it to heal into a fistula. Before a professional piercer will agree to pierce your navel - or any other part of your body, he or she should, at the very least, give you a sheet detailing the risks involved in a body piercing. A truly conscientious piercer will discuss the risks with you to be sure that you understand them. In general, though, the risks of a body piercing include:

~Infection at the site of the piercing
~Systemic infection arising from the piercing (That's an infection that's spread through your system in your blood or through other glands.)
~Infective endocarditis is a particularly nasty infection that affects your heart. It's very rare, but very serious - it can kill you. If you have a pre-existing heart condition or have ever had surgery to repair a heart condition, you have a higher risk of developing infective endocarditis.
~Scars and/or keloids at the piercing site
~Jewelry migrating - pushing its way out of the skin - can leave nasty scars as well as reopen the original wound
~Blood borne diseases are a risk any time that the skin is punctured. If the equipment used to do your piercing has been in contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person, you run the risk of contracting hepatitis C, hepatitis B, tuberculosis, tetanus and HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
~Allergic reactions to the metal in jewelry is not uncommon. The symptoms of an allergic reaction can range from mildly irritating to life threatening.

You can reduce the likelihood of many of these risks by taking the time to research the piercing studio where you will be pierced, and paying a visit to your doctor in advance. Some precautions that may help you decrease the above risks include:

~Get a tetanus shot from your doctor if you haven't had one in the last ten years.
~If you have diabetes, a heart condition or any condition that impedes healing or predisposes you to infections, ask your doctor about prophylactic (preventive) antibiotics before your piercing date.
~NEVER attempt to pierce any part of your body yourself, or have a friend do it for you. A reputable professional piercing studio will have the equipment to properly sterilize any equipment and materials that come in contact with your body. That's vital to avoid blood borne diseases, and will help reduce the chances of other infections as well.
~Follow the aftercare instructions you receive to the letter.
~Don't handle your piercing or jewelry with your bare hands. If you must, then wash your hands thoroughly with antibiotic soap first.
~Avoid wearing clothing that irritates the piercing site. With navel piercings, it's a good idea not to wear clothing with a waistband that presses against it.
~Remember that your piercing is not completely healed for up to a year after you have it pierced. Contact your doctor at any sign of infection.

Answer 5

If you eat a healthy diet and keep your body in tip top health (as you should when you get a piercing anyhow) and get plenty of rest. When you feel your body is ready then get the piercing.
