Yes: All depends on the location of the piercing and what you have in it. Often people get barbell for tongue and it does crack teeth. Be aware and careful. Consider the risks/benefits. Good Luck.

Of course: Out of habit, many tongue-ring wearers often rub their tongue ring up against their teeth. Over time, this can wear down the enamel and cause tooth decay.
