Lip piercing is becoming a much more common thing with womenespecially, but it doesn’t mean the healing process it simple. Theintake of food, alcohol or cigarettes leaves pockets of bacteria inthe mouth and can sometimes extend to the lips. If a pierced lip isnot kept clean, it can get infected very easily.
New lip pierceesmust always try to keep the piercing clean and dry as they heal toavoid bacterial infections.
The average time for the total healing of lip piercing is ten weeks. Relief from swelling and pain will occur around the 5th or 6th week.
The following steps will help encourage quick healing.
1. After lippiercing, don’t smoke or take alcohol for at least 9 hours. If youcan keep yourself away from alcohol and smoking for a longer time,then that’s great.
2. Don’t use yourtongue or teeth on it and avoid touching it especially with dirtyhands.
3. Clean your mouthtwice daily with salt water after using toothpaste.
