should have functioning and up-to-date autoclave. The piercer should have washed
the hands and applied sterile gloves before carrying out the piercing. After the
piercing the piercer should clean the area once again and give you all necessary
information on aftercare. Don't touch the piercing unless during cleaning- healing

should be used for everyday cleaning (at least twice or three times per day).

is higher than with general piercing types. But if you do everything properly and
use special mouthwash to remove debris and bacteria, everything is likely
to be all right. Have regular check-ups at your dentist.
