i had one and yes they help with kissing.. but the bad thing about them is they get in the way of eating.. and the dentist!! the only thing is that it can wreck YOUR TEETH.. so if you want to keep your teeth don't get it..
i loved mine.. the stories people tell.. they are lies!! they don't have one so how the hell do they know.. it don't get stuck in the toothbrush.. my god.. it does swell for a day so when i got mine done and repierced all i can drink is shakes.. not smoothies.. not anything but shakes every day and night.. i got a 5 piercings on my body and i did have my ear but it dug in my head.. every person is different.. i do have a high tolerance of pain.. if you don't like pain do not get it.. i will tell you one thing and im not trying to scare you all.. the tongue piercing is the only piercing that hurts cause it goes thru muscle and you can ask a piercing and tat artist if ya don't believe me they will know.. you need to think about this and you can always take it out.. i would still have mine in but the dentist wanted me to take it out and the dentist will not like it if you have one.. i know that everyone may think they are cool and shit.. they are but you're going to have trouble with it.. i don't lie.. ill keep my other piercings but the tongue.. it swells.. when you bite down to chew food you bite down on that instead.. but hey get it if you want to.. im not forcing you to do anything just saying what the dentist will say if you get x rays.. the tat/piercing artist..
the facts..
