I got my tongue pierced the other day and since then my tongue has been swollen and have had a lisp and my bottom row of teeth at the front seem to be constantly tingleing. Is that normal? Is it tingleing because my teeth are beggining to chip or because my piercing keeps hitting them? :S
The lisp will go away. Some people it takes a week, some it takes 3 weeks. But it will go away. It's partly because you're using a bigger jewelry in your tongue.
When you're first pierced, you get a longer barbell to give room for the swelling. After 4 - 6 weeks, you change it out to a smaller one, a regular sized one. That helps a lot of people with the lisp. But on others it goes away before this. The swelling just takes a little time to go away. Take ibuprofen and drink cold water and having ice or ice chips in your mouth is good to reduce swelling too.
I'm experiencing the tingling teeth too, right where the underneath ball hits, it's tingling. I'm trying really hard to not let it hit my teeth until the swelling goes down, then I'll go back into my piercer and have him change the barbell to a smaller size.
Hope I helped.
Having a piercing wears down the enamel on your teeth, try not to let the piercing keep hitting your teeth as they will become sensitive and tingle. :)
maybe the piercing hit a nerve that is linked to your teeth and that is causing the tingling? probably a good idea to go to a dentist.
im hoping when the swelling is gone, so will the lisp but if it's not im gonna take it out
maybe your teeth are getting hit by it. tht makes sense. If you have a lisp, and it hurts your teeth, was it really worth it?
