Tounge piercing?
i have a tounge piercing which is about a year old now i still clean it twice daily, but here recently it seems to be sore, almost like i bruised it. i did accidently bite on the bar and i was just wondering if this is normal or possible, it doesnt look bruised or infected! just looking for some experience or thoughts please! thanx!
Answer:
Did you maybe rip it a little? I have my belly pierced (totally different, i know) and it was really sore like that, but i couldn't see a thing and it didn't even look like it had been ripped. So i showed it to the piercer and he looked at it and said i had ripped it just a tiny bit, enough to make it sore, but not enough to be noticed.
You ought to go see a doctor about that.
You don't need to see a doctor. You probably just knocked it around a little. Give it a while to heal; as long as you're still taking care of it there's nothing to worry about.
I wouldn't listen to most people's advice on this site about piercing because most people don't know anything about taking care of piercings. If you really have a problem in the future, you can always call your piercer.
Good luck! :-)
i Had mine peirced for about 2yrs, and it is normal to have sorness, if you happen to play with the ring, or anything of that sort, it isnt infected till you see white puss coming out of the hole, but clean it like you do, and just be carefull till the soreness gose away
its possable you brused it dont forget your tounge is a muscle and it can be brused if its not better in a few days you might want to see a Doctor or better yet call a shop who dose piercings they would know
change your BJ technique
Take it out for a while, and do some salt rinses. this happened to a friend of mine, and too make a long story short, and having one of the worst infections.she could not wear it ever again...and her tongue is disgusting without it. She says she should have never done it, biggest mistake of her life. But they are cool. if you do not want to see a doctor.do try taking it out, and rinsing, ikt certainly won't hurt. Hope it gets better.
when mine is sore i take it out for a bit.a day or so and that usually helps....may be you have something stuck in the hole that you can't see. if it keeps hurting then i would go to the doctor..but remember they will give you a lecture doctors don't usually like tounge piercing's.
I think a tongue piercing has to be one of the filthiest things a person can do. Search the net for the different bacterias in your mouth. The human mouth if horribly dirty! Really! If you tear the tissue only slightly with the bar in your tongue say like when you are asleep and you accidentally move it around just think of all that bacteria that is getting into you blood stream! And believe me, there is no way to keep the bacteria cleaned from your mouth as you say you have been cleaning it. If you don't believe me ask your doctor. Ewww you will be grossed out. Remove it and be done with it.
nope

Top and Bottom Teeth Expanders ?
well I just got braces and I got top and bottom expanders, I have a serious lisp that I can not stand! I don't know if it will go away! and I keep getting food stuck in the top one and the bottom one is cutting up my tung! I need some serious help! I going through total hell!
Answer:
Hi there!
Talk to your orthodontist about things..maybe adjustments can be made.
I'm 45 and I can't remember what expanders are but let me tell you my story.
I had buck teeth w/a big gap. I had eye teeth that grew in higher than my other teeth and looked like fangs. My lower teeth were not neat either.
I was made to go to a speech therapist for a lisp that I explained was due to crooked teeth.
Thanks to braces and some tooth extractions, I have nice neat teeth and no more lisp. :) It wasn't easy, but it was worth it.. good luck!

ToothPaste Question?
On the news, (i live in Oklahoma) the said that some of the ToothPaste that was made in China and in other area had "pestisides" in it. Did anyone else hear about this? I checked mine and it come from the USA. Please share any info about this situation.Thanks
Answer:
It has been on TV,local news(radio and TV) and 60 minutes did a piece on this problem.
Colgate is the brand that is fraudulent and faulty!
No where does it say made in the USA or endorsed by the American Dental Society/Association.
All where purchased in cheap discount stores (for the present time) such as "family dollar, dollar stores".
An ongoing problem,recalled and to be destroyed. Not the first nor do they expect it to be the last time it happens.
* Remember the scare w/pet foods, snacks,now this!Check your local TV web sites under health or recalls ; news should be there to read.It will teach us the hard way, cheap isn't always the choice nor should we forget to read the labels.

June 1, 2007 FDA Advises Consumers to Avoid Toothpaste From China FDA Detains One Contaminated Shipment, Issues Import AlertThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today warned consumers to avoid using tubes of toothpaste labeled as made in China, and issued an import alert to prevent toothpaste containing the poisonous chemical diethylene glycol (DEG) from entering the United States. DEG is used in antifreeze and as a solvent. Consumers should examine toothpaste products for labeling that says the product is made in China. Out of an abundance of caution, FDA suggests that consumers throw away toothpaste with that labeling. FDA is concerned that these products may contain "diethylene glycol," also known as "diglycol." FDA is not aware of any U.S. reports of poisonings from toothpaste containing DEG. However, the agency is concerned about potential risks from chronic exposure to DEG and exposure to DEG in certain populations, such as children and individuals with kidney or liver disease. DEG in toothpaste has a low but meaningful risk of toxicity and injury to these populations. Toothpaste is not intended to be swallowed, but FDA is concerned about unintentional swallowing or ingestion of toothpaste containing DEG. FDA has identified the following brands of toothpaste from China that contain DEG and are included in the import alert: Cooldent Fluoride; Cooldent Spearmint; Cooldent ICE; Dr. Cool, Everfresh Toothpaste; Superdent Toothpaste; Clean Rite Toothpaste; Oralmax Extreme; Oral Bright Fresh Spearmint Flavor; Bright Max Peppermint Flavor; ShiR Fresh Mint Fluoride Paste; DentaPro; DentaKleen; and DentaKleen Junior. Manufacturers of these products are: Goldcredit International Enterprises Limited; Goldcredit International Trading Company Limited; and Suzhou City Jinmao Daily Chemicals Company Limited. The products typically are sold at low-cost, “bargain” retail outlets.
There was a news segment that said don't buy toothpaste at dollar stores because it might have come from China and other countries that don't have our standards. They said if your toothpaste is from the US or Canada then it's ok.
i think other toothpaste contains harmful ingredients that can impair health. if you want to have a an oral care product that you can make as daily oral routine that is safe and effective in cleaning the mouth, teeth and gums consider this link http://www.maximumteethwhitening.com...
