OP "Above & Beyond" Member (500+ posts) Joined: May 2007 Posts: 666 | Is there any good information linking OC with tongue piercing etc. (positive or negative). To me it seems that because of possible irritation this "should" enhance infections etc and therefore should be if not causing it at least giving it a leg up.
My dentist tells his patients that they are at higher risk for OC. (if possible I like to give him some more ammunition). I confess I am a bit biased, I cannot wrap my mind around why anyone would screw around with their tongue unless they have to.
