Had Tongue Pierced And Mouth Started Hurting. Using Iodized Salt And Used Listerine. Gums Are Sore. Suggest?
Hi. Ive been having my tongue pierced for a week and a day. And about the 4th day my mouth started. Hurting. I was using idiozed salt but i swithched to sea salt. Well the night i swithched my mouth started to hurt at night. I thought maybe because of the change. So o kept using it. But i felt like it wasnt doing anything. So i started to ise listerine alcohol free. Well now my top gums have sores on them. Its white and long . Not bubble like.! Im really scared and dont know what to do. Oh. Also. Ive used the mouth was and sea salt as recommended. Every time i eat or drink something other than water. But ive never used mouth wash until i got my tongue pierced. I need help please.
Tongue piercing is painful & leads to ulceration. You need not worry. Apply Dologel to that area of ulceration. Take multivitamin supplements. Maintain good oral hygiene because it can be unhygienic & may lead to further problem if not cleaned.

Hello, Thanks for writing to us. Your gums as well as tongue has ulcerated due to tongue piercing. Apply topical steroid on the affected area. Maintain oral hygiene well. Vitamin b complex as well as iron supplements has to be administered. I would advice you not to practice such unhealthy habits. Hope this helps.
