Hi doctor,
I have had my tongue pierced for eight months. I went to the dentist and they said that the rubbing of the tongue ring on my teeth had caused gum recession, so I was advised to remove my tongue ring. I have read that using a bioflex tongue bar do not cause any damage to your teeth. Is this true? If not, could you give me any alternative to not remove my tongue ring? Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern regarding your dental health. Bioflex tongue bar can be used to prevent the damage to the teeth in case of tongue piercing. It is beneficial and gives good result for a temporary period. So, for long time result and to avoid more damage to the gums and teeth, you should follow your dentist's advice.
