Tongue piercings take 6 to 8 weeks to get a light heal, but the tongue is far from healed in that time, it can take another 2 months for the tongue to heal completely if not more depending on the level of your health. A tongue piercing without complications can fully heal in four weeks.
Here are my top tips for fast healing after a tongue piercing. 1  Use painkillers, alternating between ibuprophen and paracetamol. 2  Eat non spicy liquid food at room temperature for a day or two. 3  Use a salt water or antiseptic mouthwash morning and evening for at least five days. Allow the mouthwash to surround your tongue for at least 30 seconds. If you have any sign of an infection such as pus coming from the hole or a raised temperature you should go to your doctor.
