I really want to get my tongue pierced when I turn 18 in a few months.  This is something I always wanted to have done.   My mom said she would not pay for me to do it and will not let me have my tongue pierced but she can not stop me once I turn 18.

The only thing I do worry about is that I have perfect teeth.  My parents had me in braces when I was 12 so my teeth are are straight white and I do not have even one cavity.  I was told that a tongue piercing can chip my teeth.  I am not sure if the person who told me this was telling the truth or just saying that so I will not get my tongue pierced.   Can you confirm this for me.
