Question
What are the risks of tongue piercing? How to take care of a tongue piercing? What are the eating restrictions and for how long after a fresh tongue piercing?
Answer
http://care.piercing.org/ explains most of what you need to know in terms of care and feeding.
Risks vary depending on the skill of the piercer and the quality and sterility of the equipment and jewelry. Infection, tooth and gum damage or loss, tearing and inhalation are some of the more serious issues with a tongue piercing if poorly executed or cared for.
