[@obeidamatar2318]

I used oral spray and it worked amazing and it. Healed so fast. While using the first week salt water it killed me with pain, but oral spray helped to numb my tongue and healed so much , just thought I’ll share this with use

[@hattieivarra6278]

What oral spray did you use? Was it over the counter?

[@kianaskalsky1004]

Yes, I need the answer as well

I'm getting my tongue pierced on my 18th birthday in three weeks. I've done a ton of research and this video perfectly sums up everything in the simplest way possible. I wish I had watched this before I read 50 articles that all said this in a far more complicated way.

@@izabellaodom6753 what about now, what was the healing process like? if you’re okay to answer

[@izabellaodom6753]

@@nadiaruiz1945 it did swell for the first two-ish weeks, hard to eat and hard to speak for a long time. It gave me a lisp until the swelling went down. I took mouthwash and saline and a toothbrush with me to school every day and followed the aftercare to a T, so I didn't have any problems with the healing. Overall it took about a month to get back to normal speaking and eating. It takes a little bit to get used to eating with a ball in your mouth and I've chomped on the ball a few times but I haven't hurt my teeth yet. I forget I have it in a lot but I love it. It's become a big part of my self expression and I don't plan on getting rid of it any time soon. 10/10 definitely recommend (if you can deal with the healing)

I got my tongue piercing from you about 3 years ago and I was so nervous I had my cousin holding my hand and as soon as the needle went thru I was all like “that was nothin” lmao unfortunately I had to take it out two weeks later due to my school not having piercings and it broke my heart. That piercing was in the perfect spot and following your aftercare instructions made the pain tolerable afterwards. Thank you I plan on getting that piercing again

[@juicee8774]

got mine pierced yesterday. the swelling is no joke but honestly my belly button was 100x worse than this if that tells yall anything. i ate nothing yesterday but today i ate steak! just cut up tiny pieces and use ur fingers to put it on your back teeth. love the piercing. thanks for your video❤️

[@ChristianDuncan-c5t]

You should be healed up by now to sleep without it. You don't know what your tongue does during your sleep. It will help save your teeth. Just put it back in after you wake up.

[@juicee8774]

@ haha yea i had it in for like 7 months. took it out bc im going into the military but it healed great. took about two full weeks till it was normal

[@AlixMurder]

I had my tongue pierced about 5-6 years now. My pain was very minimal maybe a 2/10 but everyone is different. Healing was a breeze and only the first 3 days were difficult to eat. By day 7 I could speak perfectly normal and by week 2 the super long bar is not a bother at all I actually didn’t care to change it. 6 years later i completely forget it’s there sometimes lol i probably won’t ever take it out

[@mckinneyproductions2595]

Got mine done 4 days ago, it's uncomfortable but I can eat easier now and I've changed my bar to a shorter one, its definitely more comfortable. I love it, definitely hope to keep it for a long time

+Marie Caudillo it all depends on the person. My first two tongue piercings i had the long bar cause of swelling. But for my 3rd and 4th tongue piercings i changed to a normal length bar cause i had little to no swelling. I

[@twinkletwinklelittlebat]

+Marie 🍄 +Marie 🍄 I talked to my piercer and he switched my front one (I have 4 in a diamond shape) to a flat plate (maybe he even used a lip stud, idk) cause it was so close to my teeth I couldn't close my mouth comfortably. I had no issue's what so ever. And of course it hurt. But what I personally did was put numbing liquid like for a toothache and put it on top and make it go down the hole so it's numb and that's tolerable.

[@maybishop5111]

How long did u wait to change it after it swell and how long did u wait to eat

Getting mine done in 3 hours, and this is super helpful and easing my nerves

[@kohikogamba1225]

Yoo how did it go?

[@cassiemonica1]

I love my tongue piercing. I’ve had it for two years now. I munched on a lot of ice the first few days to help with the soreness and swelling. I switched my bar to a shorter bar the moment I was able to and my piercer would allow it. I’ve never had issues with it rubbing against my teeth or gums. I didn’t have issues eating after. My piercer told me to keep it soft and nothing that could wrap around the jewelry. It’s fallen out once and that’s the only issue I’ve had with it.

[@evasmojang]

do you still have it?

[@BeingNthaaa]

I've had mine for 3 days now and I'm good. I've been using salt water to clean and today I've decided to start using non - alcoholic mouth wash after using the salt water.. I can eat some solid foods but still being very careful.. Anti - Inflammatory pills helped with the swelling but i took them before I slept

[@theonlynikkie]

what mouth wash did you use ???

Got mines pierced yesterday, had it done at an angle. I dont have any swelling or pain at all, the only thing is the long bar. I did have to change it today because the long barbell was digging into my tongue at an angle and leaving a long dent down the middle of my tongue. When I took it out it was very irritated and pus-y I’ve been using zero alcohol listerine after each meal and twice a day when I brush my teeth. Once I rinsed it and changed the bar to a slightly shorter one all the irritation, gone. Also my speech is 100% better. 😌
