Tongue piercing is all the rage with teens and young adults. Although some consider it hip and trendy, many are unaware that it can be harmful to their health -- especially their teeth. Dentists and hygienists are noticing an increase in trauma caused by metal-tongue jewelry.The main risk is from the constant hitting of the metal stud against the teeth. This occurs whenever the tongue moves, as in talking, chewing or eating. Over time, this can result in a chipped or fractured tooth. Trauma to the tooth’s pulp can eventually lead to root canal treatment and dental restorations.
Many youngsters approaching adolescence have one thing on their minds at a semi-annual dental checkup: "Will I need braces?"Braces, as well as headgear, bionators and maxillary expansion appliances, are corrective dental and orthopedic appliances that straighten teeth and can help bring the lips and jaws into proper alignment during growth and development.

A "phobia" is traditionally defined as "an irrational severe fear that leads to avoidance of the feared situation, object or activity" (even though the Greek word "phobia" simply means fear...). Exposure to the feared stimulus provokes an immediate anxiety response, which may take the form of a panic attack. The phobia causes a lot of distress, and impacts on other aspects of the individual's life, not just their oral health. Dental phobics will spend an awful lot of time thinking about their teeth or dentists or dental situations, or else spend a lot of time trying NOT to think of teeth or dentists or dental situations. Which is pretty hard in today's society, which is saturated with ugly reminders such as toothpaste commercials.Search
