I tore my tongue ring will it heal?

Question

I got my tongue pierced on the first of august, its not swollen or anything anymore but I was eating a piece of fruit and got a hold of my tongue ring and tore it a bit. Its noticable and Im cleaning it with the stuff they gave me but will it heal? What can I do to ensure it heals right?

Answer 1

okay! my stuff! yea ^.^! okay-keep the ring in, make sure you clean it before you  eat, after you eat, brush your teeth often. yes-it will heal, but you have to take care of it. if it gets infected, it could go to your brain...so..yeup. but yea-it'll heal. if you take out the ring, it usually heal from the bottom of your toungue up so...i wouldent do that for sake of repiercing it.

Answer 2

Answer 3

the ring? no

your tongue? yes.

Keep an eye on it to make sure there is no changes that could signify the start of an infecton (starts to swell, itch, feel hot, irritated or sore, any p***y discharge...) and continue to clean your mouth the way you were instructed with a sea salt/ saline solution or whatever it was the piercer suggested was best for you. Your piercing will not close up if you keep your post in, your tongue will heal to the size of the post. Because a tongue piercing is done with a needle it has actually hollowed a hole into your tongue instead of just tearing or pushing a hole into it like yo done when you tore it. This would take a whole lot more time to heal than a simple tear. Your tongue will heal by forming new skin around the outside of the hole created by the needle (the hole going through teh tongue where your post is, because the post is there it will not create tissue to close the hole)

Good luck and be careful until your done healing!
