Problemas causados por una perforación bucal

Generalidades del tema

Los problemas que pueden presentarse cuando usted hace perforar la lengua, la mejilla interna, la úvula o el labio incluyen:

  • Dolor.
  • Sangrado.
  • Infección en el lugar de la perforación.
  • Infecciones, como la hepatitis B , la hepatitis C y el VIH .
  • Problemas del habla.
  • Problemas para masticar y tragar.
  • Daño a los dientes, incluyendo dientes descascarillados, agrietados o rotos.
  • Tejido cicatricial.
  • Hinchazón que puede obstruirle la garganta.

Si usted se ha hecho perforar la boca y usa una joya bucal, asegúrese de que pueda quitársela. La bola en uno de los extremos de un dispositivo con forma de pesa debe poderse atornillar y desatornillar para hacer que la joya sea fácil de poner y quitar. Las joyas bucales que se sueltan pueden tragarse o aspirarse accidentalmente y causar lesiones o requerir la extirpación quirúrgica.
