around 6-8 weeks to heal. I use Sea salt water. You can get the sea salt at any health foods store (whole foods, great harvest, etc.) DO NOT use listerine! it can cause discoloration and irritation of the piercing site. You should only eat soft food like mashed bananas, mashed potatoes, cereal, cold soup, applesauce or rice. Ramen is good. Ultra slim fasts are a great way to get the protein and vitamins you need. Rinse mouth out before and after every meal or drink.

When the tongue is fully healed you only need to rinse your mouth out in the morning and evening.

Dont touch the ring...it is normal for your piercing to swell a lot. it will go down in a few days.

stonewilder disagrees: I used non alcoholic Listerine and had no problems. I was also eating solid foods the next day.
J_9 agrees: Balance......Listerine has chemicals that can irritate.

I used non alcoholic Listerine from the store, I had no problems with it at all. They say it takes about a month to heal but I didn't have any problems with my after about a week. Just don't take it out with in that month because it will start growing up fast, I mean in a matter of minutes.
