PiercerDeb's Oral Aftercare

Oral Piercings Only

1. Put ice in your mouth onto the piercing, both sides if possible, as often as possible for the next 24 to 72 hours longer if it's still swollen.

2. Use Listerine or Cepacol anytime you eat, drink, or smoke anything that is not water.

3. When brushing your teeth it is important to include your tongue, thus removing more bacteria than just brushing your teeth. you may also brush any exposed portion of the jewelry to remove plaque in the same manner.
Listerine does make a toothpaste you may use it but it is not a requirement.

4. Twice a day, place a couple of drops of Glyoxide near entrance of the piercing, it will foam. As it does move jewelry back and forth to help Glyoxide enter the piercing and remove any food particles or other foreign substances from the piercing.

More Important Tips

TRY NOT TO PLAY WITH THE JEWELRY UNTIL THE PIERCING IS COMPLETELY HEALED.

NO ORAL SEX OR TONGUE KISSING FOR 2 WEEKS AFTER AN ORAL PIERCING.

PLEASE AVOID CHEWING GUM FOR A MINIMUM OF ONE WEEK PREFERABLY 3 WEEKS.

NO SPICY FOOD, FRUIT JUICES (LIKE O.J. OR GRAPEFRUIT), AND HEAVILY CARBONATED BEVERAGES. IF YOU LIKE SODA THAT MUCH ADD A BIT OF WATER TO IT AND IT WILL KNOCK OUT SOME OF THE CARBONATION.

ABSOLUTELY NO STRAWS, THEY WILL CAUSE SWELLING AND CAN CAUSE BLEEDING.

FOR TONGUE PIERCINGS: PLEASE REMEMBER TO CHEW SLOWLY. THERE IS NOW A NEW ADDITION TO YOUR TONGUE. (DURING THE ACTION OF NORMAL CHEWING, THE TONGUE MOVES THE FOOD TOWARD THE TEETH. SINCE THE TONGUE NOW HAS AN EXTENSION THIS WILL TAKE MORE TIME TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF CLOSING TEETH.)
