What Is Normal?

Initially:

• Bleeding, swelling, tenderness, bruising

During healing:

• Itching

• Clear or whitish-yellow discharge (not pus)

• Light crusting on jewelry

Once healed:

• Jewelry may feel snug—do not force movement

Healing occurs from the outside in, so continue care even if it feels healed.

What To Do

• Wash hands before touching your piercing

• Do not rotate or fidget with jewelry

• Keep bedding clean

• Wear breathable clothing

• Shower instead of bathing when possible

⚠️ Do not remove jewelry during healing—piercings can close quickly.

 

Oral Piercing Aftercare

Cleaning Solutions

• Alcohol-free mouth rinse (Biotene recommended)

Inside the Mouth

Rinse for 30 seconds after meals and before bed (4–5 times daily).

Exterior Cleaning (Lip / Cheek)

• Saline soaks 2–3 times daily

• Soap no more than once or twice daily

• Rinse thoroughly and pat dry

Reducing Swelling

• Allow ice chips to dissolve in the mouth

• Use NSAIDs as directed (ibuprofen or naproxen)

• Sleep with head elevated

Jewelry & Healing Tips

• Downsize jewelry after swelling subsides (consult your piercer)

• Check threaded ends regularly

• Keep spare jewelry on hand

• Do not remove jewelry if infection is suspected—allow drainage

What to Avoid

• Playing with jewelry

• Alcohol-based mouthwash

• Oral contact (kissing, oral sex) during healing

• Aspirin, alcohol, excessive caffeine

• Submerging healing piercings in lakes, pools, or hot tubs

 

Important Notes

Healing times vary by person and placement. If you have any concerns, contact your piercer directly.

Seek medical attention if signs of infection occur, including redness, swelling, fever, red streaking, or purulent drainage.
