Read on to learn more about the stage-by-stage healing process of a tongue piercing, as well as some associated risks and treatment options. People with weak immune systems due to diabetes , cancer , HIV , and some medications may need longer to heal and can also be more vulnerable to infection.
In general, a person can expect to experience the following stages as their tongue piercing heals:. Immediately after the piercing, the wound may feel very sore and irritated. A person might have trouble talking and adapting to the new sensation in the mouth. However, they should avoid touching the piercing or knocking the piercing with the teeth, as this can increase irritation. At first, it may be necessary to put food directly on the teeth in order to chew. Some people also choose to consume smoothies or other liquid foods for the first few days, until they adjust to eating with the jewelry in place.
In these early days, it is vital to rinse the mouth with a saline solution several times each day. Most piercers recommend using a quarter teaspoon of iodine-free salt mixed in 8 ounces of warm water.
Do not use stronger solutions or antibiotic creams unless a doctor recommends it. Follow all instructions the piercer gives. Also, use a new toothbrush after getting a new tongue piercing. This reduces the risk of accidentally introducing additional bacteria to the site.
The swelling tends to increase for several days after the piercing, and it may last for a week or slightly longer. The wound may also bleed or ooze. A small amount of bleeding is normal, but consistent bleeding may signal a problem.
After a few days, the wound may also ooze a whitish or clear fluid. When the swelling decreases, replace the jewelry with a shorter piece of jewelry. Leaving longer jewelry in place increases irritation and may damage the teeth.
It is safest to have a piercer do this. Before touching the piercing, always wash the hands thoroughly and only use sterile, new jewelry intended for the tongue. Piercings heal from the outside in, which means that the outermost tissue of the tongue heals first. This means that while the piercing may look less irritated, it is actually still healing for a month or longer. By this stage in the healing process, it should have become less painful and will start to feel relatively normal.
However, a person may still need time to adapt to the piercing. Tongues heal quickly, which means that the piercing may close if a person removes the jewelry, even for a short period of time. If there are no complications, complete healing usually takes around 4—6 weeks. The feeling of a cold ball or bar as your kissing can be exciting for some, plus for the pierced person the tugging on your piercing is meant to be like a party for the nerve-endings in your tongue. For oral, this is where I get squeamish.
The mixture of a warm tongue and a cold piece of metal is a surprising delight for both women and men receiving oral. It also adds pressure and can be somewhat of a tease. So, if you're thinking of getting a tongue piercing purely to improve your tekkers, think again.
That being said, both men and women may enjoy giving it should they think the piercing has upped their game. How do we defeat the dreaded stigma of tongue piercings? The drawing attention to your mouth, the rumour that it improves oral sex, it all adds up to the ridiculous notion that you are somehow more interested in sex because you have a sparkly ring in your mouth.
In fact, tongue piercing originates from ancient tribes who used it to draw blood to regain favour of the gods and create an altered state of consciousness for communication. Tongue piercings have been linked to receding gums and chipping teeth. It may also increase the risk of bacterial infections in your mouth and can fracture existing dental work. If you have your piercing for a number of years, the constant pressure against the back of your teeth can cause them to move and create gaps but this can happen without oral jewellery too.
A barbell specifically can irritate the gums and cause gum recession. There is more advice on how to care for your piercing at colgate. After that, drink as much gin as you like, worry-free.
A common misconception of tongue piercings is that they will ALL get infected at some point. Mouth jewellery, of course, can be a choking hazard.
Since you have to sleep with your tongue piercing in to prevent it closing up the ring could potentially unscrew overnight and you could either swallow your tongue ring or it could go down your airways. In scenario one, it most likely will pass through your body and leave via a bowel movement without any hassle.
Of course, there is a chance that the sharper post can cause damage to your digestive system so if you experience any pain after swallowing seek medical attention.
