They aren;t that hard to maintain in general,

and the pain isn't that bad either,

ehres some info I pasted from bodyjewelleryshop.com :)

Oral piercings benefit from the presence of ‘friendly’ bacteria, which live in the mouth and protect it from external infection.

Regular rinsing with Saline or an anti-septic/non-alcoholic mouthwash will definitely help reduce the risks of infection, but over-using mouthwash 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 jewellery is constantly moved then the pierced area 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 jewellery or where the jewellery constantly rubs against the gum lining, wearing it away. This often happens if larger jewellery 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 jewellery, immediately seek emergency medical treatment.
