You should be using non-alcoholic mouthwash to clean your mouth out after eating, drinking or smokeing. Also when you get up and before bed. You could also use a sea salt rinse if you chose. You also need to clean the outside with anti-bacterial soap 2-3 times a day. You can perform sea salt soaks on the outside to help it heal. Just as importantly, KEEP YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM IT. Hands are covered in germs and dirt, so don't aggravate your piercing by playing with it.





You don't need to wait to eat food, but do avoid things that will stretch your mouth out or press on the piercing. So no giant hamburgers for a couple of weeks. Always rinse your mouth after eating.





NO ORAL SEX until you have healed (at least 3 weeks, preferably more). Getting your partner's fluids in the piercing can cause irritation, bacterial infection, or even put you at greater risk for contracting STD's.





Kissing can also introduce bacteria, so avoid it all together or at least clean your piercing thoroughly. The more you irritate your piercing with germs and friction, the more slowly it will heal.
