Piercing your tongue....

Piercing of the tongue for some people is the way to be "cool" or fit in with a group of friends. However, tongue piercing can lead to damaging habits that could potentially cause gaps to appear between the upper front teeth. Just remember, that hole in your tongue could potentially end up costing you thousands of dollars in dental treatment years down the road.

Even though you think the barbell is just sitting in there, it is actually putting pressure against the back side of your front teeth at all times. Every time that ball hits or you accidentally bite down on it you could possibly crack, chip or break a tooth. It may not be as cool as you think and it may be costly.
