Still, migration and infection aren’t the only two complications you can have. If you wear a captive bead ring in your smiley piercing, you might end up with gum recession and tooth damage. The ball will rub repeatedly against your teeth on a daily basis and you may end up damaging the enamel on your teeth.
Similarly one may ask, how bad does a smiley piercing hurt?
Pain is possible with all piercings. Generally speaking, the fleshier the area, the less the piercing will hurt. Your frenulum has to be thick enough to support the jewelry, but the piece of tissue is still rather small. Because of this, the piercing may hurt a bit more than a lip or earlobe piercing.
Closed mouth smooches are fine (as long as they’re gentle), but you should refrain from kissing of the French variety until your piercer has confirmed that your frenulum has fully healed.
