Oralpiercings benefit from the presence of ‘friendly’ bacteria, which live in the mouth and protect it from external infection.
Regular rinsing with SKINTASTIC ART aftercare will definitely help reduce the risks of infection, but over-using can kill the natural bacteria making your tongue turn white on the surface.
Oral piercings can become problematic without proper and regular aftercare.
If the jewelry is constantly moved then the piercedarea can become aggravated and prolong the healing; for example chewing tough food can aggravate a tongue piercing because your tongue constantly moves when you’re chewing.
Damage can also come from biting the jewelry or where the jewelry constantly rubs against the gum lining, wearing it away. This often happens if larger jewelry is left unchanged, after the initial swelling reduces. Some people find that a ball on their tongue bar comes loose and they swallow it. Get used to tightening both balls. If you inhale the jewelry, immediately seek emergency medical treatment.
Though any signs of infection should be dealt with as quickly as possible, it is especially important with oral piercings. Infection, like septicaemia, can spread quickly into the blood or deeper into the body.
Never leave it to chance.
Today, tongue piercinghas been popularized by celebrities like Drey Barrymore, Mel B of the Spice Girls, Janet Jackson, Keith Flint and many others. Tongue piercing has become an intriguing & exciting body mutilating piece of art.
