2)Gum receeding, loosing enamel on your teeth are some of the downsides to having oral piercings. It may happen alot or little, but you can pretty much bet on some kind of damage in the long term. Even if the damage is very light.

3)Dunno about the cancer thing tho.
generally i dont give a damn what people think but shes worn me down over the past four years (not enough to be perma banned) and its getting to the point i think that lot are right.

can you not get plastic backs instead of metal ones? my teeth are sensitive anyway, i can just imagine the grating, like someone scratching knives and forks against a plate...blaaaaah.

Advice: DO NOT DRINK AFTER IT! Honestly. Don't. You won't be able to brush your teeth properly for a week 'cause the swelling will be horrible. I don't generally swell with piercings but I looked/felt ridiculous due to several post-piercing pints.

Get a bar rather than a ring, also. I foolishly got two rings which didn't help with the swelling, among other things.

Good luck!
awh now this sucks, im going to see amanda palmer in the evening.
reckon if i leave it a few hours it will be ok?
