hey man,

yeah I used to have there pierced too (its called a labret) and I didnt really find any problems with it till around 3 years after getting it pierced when I thought my front gums were reciding. As big a step as it was for me to take it out, quite a few friends didnt even notice for a few weeks that it had gone, and I got used to not having it, well until i got it repierced a year later

It's hard to place lip piercings so they won't interfere with teeth and gums, especially as they move slightly during their 'settling down' period.
I had a madonna piercing (upper lip) and it was starting to catch on my gum so I took it out. Only I would notice the scar now, it's minute.

I am MAN

You're probably taking the correct step in taking it out because alot of the time it will do the enamel on you're teeth no favour's, pick between a necessity(teeth) and you're style
