I have my lip pierced. Hurt eh? Lol. Anywho...\n\n-Rinse with alcohol free mouthwash after EVERYTHING that goes into your mouth such as food, drinks and after every cigarette!! Except water.. water doesn't mater.\n\n-No kissing or any oral sex for 3-4 weeks.\n\n-Clean it twice a day with antibacterial soap. Take a q-tip and rub the soap around it, then move the ring side to side and in and out. Make sure your hands are clean before you do this. Grab a cup and dump water over it to get rid of the soap. (A good idea when you wash your hands before you do it is to dry them with paper towel instead of a cloth towel becuase cloth towels tend to hold more bacteria.)\n\n-If it gets crusty, gently remove the crust from your jewelry with a disposable, one-use product such as a tissue, cotton-ball, swab, or square. (Not a hand/cloth towel!)\n\n-Don't ever touch it for any reason before its healed if your hands are not clean. Don;t let your friends touch it either. Alot of my friend tryed to do this and I has to slap their hands away lol.\n\nOne last thing, don't drink any alcohol untill its healed! Booze is VERY bad for an oral piercing!\n\nBest of luck! :)

It can. Make sure the dentist uses plenty of antithetic. And, get some pain killers for afterward. I had to get one of mine pulled a number of years ago. The biggest problem was that I was tasting blood for 2 days. With the pain killers, the pain was about on par with a good solid punch in the jaw. It hurts, but it was more of a dull throb than a sharp pain.

Doing this will ruin your teeth! please stop!!! the stomache acids will eat the enamal off of the back of your teeth they will turn all black and yucky. I'd bet nearly all guys would rather date a heavy girl rather than one with rotten black nasty teeth!!!

Like any piercing, it can be dangerous if the place you get it done at is not sterile. Some complications besides infection from an insterile needle include: \n\n1. Chipped or Broken Front Teeth \nThe majority of patients we see with tongue barbells wind up with chips, cracks or fractures in their front teeth. These have to be repaired with fillings or crowns.\n\n\n2. Gum Surgery \n\nWe've had to refer patients to periodontists for surgical correction of damage caused by rubbing tongue barbells.\n\n3. It can go down the wrong way. \nThe barbell can come un-screwed and wind up in a lung.\n\n\nApparently there are cases of people DYING (http://www.drhendry.ca/InfoAndLinks/TonguePiercing/Piercing.html) <---shows some pretty gross pictures, beware. \n\nAnyways, I would imagine most of these are extreme cases. In my opinion, it isn't really worth the risk! Your heath is most important!

it helps...kinda like when you have a canker (sp?) sore on your gums. i pierced my own tongue...ice cubes and slurpies will be very soothing if you have swelling. if it's still painful after a day or two, use some sore throat spray...it will really help, and it's anti-septic. careful not to chomp down on any teeth!!! i've broken a porcelain crown and chipped another tooth, and my tongue has been pierced for 5 years. hope this was helpful...i hope you don't have much swelling or pain.

Your saliva could cause the glass to quickly cool, causing it to shatter.  That would be particularly painful.\n\nThen as an after effect, should your tongue touch one of the filament electrodes, you would also receive a painful electric shock.\n\nNow, if we're talking flashlight bulbs, then you probably have little to worry about as far as the occurence of either of these.

yes-- its perfectly normal\n\nif u imagine your tooth roots go right up into the gum its all connected to the face then comes the ears, if u imagine one long tube if there any pain in the face, it always radiates out to the ears\n\nIf its too troublesome and painful go get it checked

I have several things pierced. They include my left nipple, left ear (normal), left eyebrow, labret, and navel. I got all these many years ago though, so I hardly wear pieces in them now.

Yes for these teeth you have prob. learned to late.  You can't floss every couple of days, it has to be everyday.  If you don't want more decay and rotten teeth, then floss everyday. You need to have these teeth extracted, abscessed teeth are nothing to play with, you can get seriously ill, or even die if you don't have them taken care of.  You need to learn to brush consistently and the right way.  You are not brushing as well on the lower because you are afraid of hitting the decayed teeth. You have to use a soft toothbrush and use small circular strokes with very little pressure.  You have used too much pressure on the lower, which has caused the recession.  I would suggest an electric toothbrush.  Flossing:  go in between each tooth wrap one side of the tooth like a "C" shape and wiggle up and down a few times and then do this to the other tooth in front, going all of the way around the mouth.  Again you don't have to use a lot of pressure, you don't want to injure or cut the gum tissue.  Decay is caused by bacteria and food debris which turns into acid, this causes decay.  Gingivitis and periodontitis are gum conditions.  The problem is you, you have to do the work in order to have a healthy mouth.  I know this is blunt, but you have to wake up and brush as much as possible, floss everyday, and see a dentist about your problem teeth.  Educate yourself on home care and about tooth decay and gum disease.  Use your search engine for help.

It's not really that exciting of a piercing, and depending on your ta-ta's size, you may not have a choice as to what kind of ring you put in it. I have large ones, so I had posts similar to those used in the tongue. Plus, because something is always rubbing against it, it gets infected easily. I would not recommend it. I had to take mine out for surgery, and I really didn't miss them.\nI also had a below the belt piercing, and those are hot, but if you are pierced to close to a nerve you get that pain-pleasure thing, which isn't always nice. Good luck!

You will get a gum infection. And your teeth probably will change from the position there are in now.

as a body piercer, I can tell you that it wont heal fast, because you pierced it yourself.Sewing needles are made of bad quality metals that usuially cause more irritation to the piercing.\nOnce the swelling goes down it wont rub on your gums as much.\nBut I dont quite understand what you did. Please answer some of the following questions, and I'll change my answer to help you out more.\n1) What type of jewlery do you have in now? What gauge and size is it? Is it a hoop? labet post? earring stud? What material or typer of metal is it made out of?\n2)did you clean anything before you pierced it?\n3)How have you been cleaning it?

Only if you have some kind of metal in your mouth, like a filling or crown.\nIt basically creates a battery, seeing that a battery needs and acid (saliva), and two metals (aluminum foil and the metal in your mouth).

Usually no, however if there are small cuts or sores in each your your mouths or gums (usually they are even completely unnoticeable) then the chances increase greatly. There are approximately 300,000 cells that fit inside of a normal sized period ( . ) and it only takes one to infect you.

Why are you asking a question you already know the answer to? And yes I would remove my lips if it would make brushing unnessary. I'm cut and I love it!
