![]() ![]() Remember the term “frenulum linguae”? This is the webbing that attaches the tongue to the base of the jaw. ![]() We have already talked about the standard tongue piercing and to be honest, this is the one where some people may have trouble.

Boy, that was a lot of ground to cover but now that I have the basics out of the way, let’s move on. Trust me, the last thing you want to deal with is an oral infection that is completely avoidable. I know, I know, cutting back on kissing and other oral activities is not going to be ideal for your partner or partners (you sly devil) but a few weeks off won’t kill you, or them. A piercing is a healing wound and any bacteria entering that wound would not be ideal. And for all of you people with, shall we say, “oral dependencies” (wink wink, nudge nudge) you should probably take a break from that kind of activity for a few weeks. Cutting back on overly salty foods helps too. If you are a spice lord, you may want to relax on the siracha and Tapatio for a while until you are well past the swelling faze.
