| Re: lip ring advice
i've had my lower lip pierced for 12 years and my tongue for 10, I've not had any problems dentist-wise, one of them even asked my advice on a few piercing issues, but i do worry about my gums receeding as it's hereditary on my dad's side. Avoid rings like the plague (at first anyway), a friend used to wear one and chewed it in his sleep, leading to a massive gum infection and him having most of his teeth ripped outta his head!
Labret bars seem to work fine for me, make sure you get one that fits (as pointed out above). I had one that was actually too small but didnt realise at first and ended up wakiing up one day with the damn thing imbedded in my lip, not good! I'm pretty sure you can now get non-metal labret bars (ptfe etc) but not sure if you can get these in brand new piercings, check with your piercer.
I'm sure with a dentist for a mum you'll already have good oral hygine, keep that up and you should be fine
oh yeah, and as you smoke you may end up totally soaking the filters after cos you will dribble more!
