I've finally decided to get my lip pierced (after a year of contemplation)! I want to do it, hoefully over the christmas holidays, but prior to doing it, I have a question.
I have my final orthodontal appointment in mid january. Braces are already off but they need to assess the wisdom teeth. If the orthodontist decides i need them out, it wont be until February i get the appointment. Would the lip ring be in the way of any sort of dental procedure, because if so, im willing to wait a bit longer, or, if i do get it during the holidays, would it be allright to take it out for dental work??
Thanks,
Kelly

Drawn from personal experience, Dentists (or orthodontists) don't like even semi-oral piercings to begin with.. but that's not the issue here.... Personally, I asked my dentist if the rings would be in the way and he said "Probably not, but a stud (he has no idea what a "Labret" is.. hehe) would be better and easier for me to work around.

So.. that's my dentist's advice... as far as taking it out after 2 months... you could PROBABLY get away with it for a couple of hours, but it would be better if you had something in there.
