Answer 1

I don't know but it's hot.

Answer 2

getting the piercing does not hurt but the next day you will ask yourself why did you do it. and then wait a few months when your eating and you bite down on it and chip you tooth  

Answer 3

You might want to think about it based on a recent article I read in my Dental Hygiene journal.

It (piercing) can cause - pain, swelling, localized (in the area) and systemic (body) infection, nerve damage, broken teeth, broken dental work, excessive salivation and drooling, gingival recession (your gums creep down and teeth end up looking to long), alteration of taste, interference with speech, chewing and swallowing, scar tissue, sensitivity or allergic reaction to metal, etc

"The effects of oral piercing" Mark G. Kacerik, RDH, MS in this months Journal of Practical Hygiene (a dental hygienist's journal)

Sorry to say, the best thing to do to save yourself the possible problems and spending the money to fix them (potential fillings, root canal, or need for a cap (crown) or a trip to the gum specialist (periodontist) is to remove your piercing!!!

Hope that helps
