Line 1: Line 1:
One of the most annoying things that people do with their oral piercings (usually when they first get them) is incessant "clicking" and running the bars and beads along their teeth. This increases your risk of being slapped by people near you, as well as having the potential to damage your teeth permanently.
A '''true navel piercing''' is a piercing that passes through the belly button itself. [[Navel piercings]], as the word is commonly used, are through the rim of the navel — skin, which is not actually a part of the navel structure, but a part of your stomach's skin. Naturally, an "outie" (to some extent) is required.


This type of constant minor impact can cause microfractures in your teeth (sort of like the spider-webbing effect you get in poorly maintained gel coats on fiberglass boats and cars). These leave the nerve of the tooth more exposed to temperature changes (which is of course ''very painful''). In addition, even though cursory examination of the tooth shows no cavities, small particles can get into these fractures leading to even more pain.
Contrary to urban legend, this will not — except in people with really bad luck (or really bad hygiene) — draw an infection into your liver or peritoneum, and is not generally life-threatening. It is however ''extremely'' rare.


'''It is important that you try and stay conscious of your habits. Don't let jewelry clicking become one of yours!'''

A true navel piercing is a piercing that passes through the belly button itself. Navel piercings, as the word is commonly used, are through the rim of the navel — skin, which is not actually a part of the navel structure, but a part of your stomach's skin. Naturally, an "outie" (to some extent) is required.

Contrary to urban legend, this will not — except in people with really bad luck (or really bad hygiene) — draw an infection into your liver or peritoneum, and is not generally life-threatening. It is however extremely rare.
