Oral Piercing Aftercare

Oral Piercing Aftercare:

  • Rinse your mouth twice a day.

  • Use an alcohol-free mouthwash, diluted with distilled water, twice daily.

  • After eating or drinking, rinse your mouth with distilled water.

  • Always make sure your hands are clean before touching your piercing.

  • Avoid injuring or sleeping directly on your piercing.

  • Do not twist or rotate the jewelry.

  • Healing time varies from person to person.

  • Only change the jewelry once the piercing is fully healed.

  • You must downsize your jewelry once it’s healed.

  • If you experience any adverse reaction, please consult a medical specialist.

Other important things to keep in mind to avoid damaging your piercing:

  • Hair: Hair contains oil and dirt that can irritate your piercing. We recommend keeping your hair tied back to avoid contamination or accidentally pulling on the piercing.

  • Pets: Sleeping with your pet, allowing them access to your pillow, or letting them lick your piercing can cause a serious infection. Keep your pet away from your piercing and your pillow.

  • Pillow: Pillowcases can collect bacteria that may lead to infection. They absorb oil, dirt, and dead skin from your face and hair. Change your pillowcase frequently.

  • Phone: Phones are a major source of bacteria and can infect your piercing. Avoid letting your phone touch your piercing and keep it sanitized in case of accidental contact.

  • Towels: Towels carry bacteria and dead skin. Never clean your piercing with a towel use cotton swabs (Q-Tips) or paper towels instead.

  • Bodies of water: Do not swim in pools, lakes, or oceans while your piercing is healing. This increases the risk of infection.

  • Alcohol and acidic foods: Avoid spicy foods, citrus fruits, alcohol, and anything high in acidity, as they can irritate your piercing and delay healing.

  • Alcohol and smoking: These can weaken your immune system and slow the healing process.

  • Poor diet: A lack of proper nutrition can also weaken your defenses and delay healing.

Piercings require good hygiene and consistent care even after they’re healed. This is a commitment you take on when you decide to get a body piercing.
Remember: low quality jewelry can damage even a healed piercing cheap can end up being costly.
