Tongue piercing: Your tongue piercing will not close up in the time required to pull 2 teeth. Your dentist will confirm this.

Not long: While your tongue piercing will not close up if the fixture is removed long enough for 2 teeth to be extracted, the best thing you could do would be to remove it permanently. They are unsanitary, cause increased risk of tooth fracture, and cause increased risk of gum recession on the insides of your dental arches.
