1stly, since the appliance was to protract your jaw, a change in bite shud`ve been predicted. u need to consult an orthodontist as well, regarding the new bite and whether is it leading to a malocclusion. in this case, all your teeth will be affected over time and change in their positions may occur. \n\nalso, a change in bite could lead to temporomandibular joint dysfunction, though the manifestation is not immediate which might cause ur dentist to overlook the bite change. \n\nso confirm with an orthodontist.

I have the exact same thing and I saw a Doctor and Dentist about it during my pregnancy.  It is called Geographic Tongue or Fissured Tongue.  It is a variation of a normal tongue and you've probably always had it-just never paid attention til you got pregnant.  Now, you're looking at everything!!  Look it up on the interent and you'll see pictures of it, or see you Dr/Dentist.  I'm sure you are perfectly fine!!

Lock your tongue against your teeth and try to talk normally

Does it hurt?\nYes - this varies with many different things such as how good your piercer is and how relaxed you are to how 'deep' the piercer chooses to place the bar. Try and talk to them throughly beforehand, it is mix of your preference (close to the front or roof of the mouth) and your piercer's experience. Avoid going to close to the front, can affect your teeth and speech and in rare cases even 'grow' out.\nWould you recommend getting it done or not?\nYes - the fact that you're even asking this question shows you're interested. Its fun. If you're worried how others will perceive you then maybe you shouldn't. I had my tongue bar for 5 years before taking it out (9 years with an eyebrow bar and still counting) and got a lot of enjoyment from it. Personally, i had ABSOLUTELY no problems with it, and having worked in a piercing parlour, i can also tell you major problems are rare and you generally have to be fairly reckless with your decisions.\n\nDO NOT believe half these responses. By in large they are a bunch of urban myths. Tongue bars DO NOT cause cancer, i mean really, really, think about it. It is stainless steel, not a degradable metal, did your parents tell you that? Ha! If you smoke, there are VERY mixed reports on the potential of mouth cancer with an exposed area of your tongue, again MYTH. If you smoke, you generally should avoid to while it heals. After the initial day or two, you are no more likely to get CANCER with or without it. I can't even bother to respond to some of the answers here, they're mostly far fetched nonsense. Some people can have teeth issues, but only if they're reckless and play with it in their mouths too much (generally a developed bad habit). Again, think about it, if you play with a chunk of metal OF COURSE it COULD damage your teeth. Simply ignore it, if you 'roll' it over your teeth, stop. Common sense will always win.\n\nOne other one i had to answer too... If you remove your tongue bar it will NOT "heal over instantly"... When you first get it, yes you cannot remove it for 1-2 weeks. I could remove it for well over a week at a time, and probobly longer if i wanted, with absolutely no problems.\n\nAnother one - DO NOT USE plastic tongue bars. Stupid, stupid thing to do. These will cause more problems than any normal piercing ever would. I haven't heard of any horror stories first hand, but i'm aware of them breaking, and sharp plastic in your mouth is never good. Again, COMMON SENSE.\n\nMake a sensible decision on your own. If you have any concerns over the myths then feel free to email me. I took it out for my own personal reasons, but really, just because i became bored of it. But for 5 years, it was fun and a great talking point to new people you haven't met before. I still have many new friends that all began with "Did that hurt?!!?". All in all great fun, but a decision you should weigh in your mind, and always use common sense and a reputable piercer.

Your tongue fell off?\nSalt makes them swell

put your tongue in an electric plug in -- should be bout the same

What you received is called and "immediate" denture. It was put in right after your extractions and you can't take it out for 24 hours, right?\nOver time, (approx. 6 weeks) your gums will fully heal and the swelling will go down tremendously. Your denture will then not fit your mouth anymore.\nIn my office, we do what's called a "reline" where the tech. reshapes and refits the denture. \nI'm not sure what he's charging you for the other denture, but ask about a reline instead.\nThis is the last denture you'll (hopefully) need for many years if you take good care of them.\nGood luck!!!

This was probably one of the most horrid phases of my life.  Once your mouth adapts to the extra bumps on your teeth, you should begin to begin eating normally again.  If I remember, I think it took a little over a week.  When you're not eating, try putting dental wax on them, it's usually a big help.

You can rub a little bit of whiskey on it ... or ambesol.  Check with a dentist .... may be time for them to come out.

I think it does..when i got my tongue pierced i couldn't eat for four days and when i could eat again i got full up on one square of a sandwich! So you could shrink it by eating less but i wouldn't advise you go to drastic measures because you will basically be starving yourself and what you lose in weight (if that is what your intention is) will pile back on plus more when you do eat more again.\n You've had surgery too so take it easy incase you do some serious damage..

i also have my tongue pierced and this is what worked for me. first off, it should only take about 3 days for the swelling to go down. in the meantime, suck on ice cubes every once in awhile, the little ones work best. also they tell u not to eat anything dairy but i did. everytime u eat drink, smoke, put anything in your mouth, rinse it out with Listerene, the Original flavor,(the other flavors tend to irritate it because of the dyes) for about two weeks. after the two weeks, rinse out every other day.  \nif you are prone to infections then it may be the type of jewelry, or just not proper care. also ask your piercer about "deep cleanings".

Go see an oral surgon and have em pulled. If you don't the can become impacted, infected and alter your teeth.

Most likely your tongue needs to "callous" a bit. It should in about 2 weeks. Peroxide or saltwater rinses will help. However, in rare cases, if the denture has the pink acrylic on it some people are sensitive to this material. If it persisits or gets worse check back with the dentist or denturist.

I am gathering it USED to fit, but it no longer fits.  If it ~almost~ fits, go ahead and force it in.  Within 4 or 5 days, it ought to feel normal again, if your teeth have not moved so much that you just can't get it to go back into place.  Good luck.

Most piercers will recommend you keep the stud or ring in for a couple of weeks. Get a stud that you can take the head off of, so it will stay on the back but in t he front will look like a retainer. \nright?

The Procedure you are talking about is called a frenectomy.  And the little bit they are clipping is the loose fold of sking you see when touch your tongue to the top of your mouth.  It's called the Frenum. Pain is minimal and your tongue will get a whole lot free-er?  Any whoos, by clipping it your tongue wont pull on yer gums behing the two front teeth. \nIt works.  Sometimes we clip the ones connected to the lip.  the will use topicals and maybe anesthetic. laser or scalpels. It heals in two days or so.  \n\ndon't sweat it.
