Can anybody who's had a lip piercing before give me some advice on angel bites?

How long is the healing time?


Will speech/eating be affected? If so, how?


Is it possible to get clear retainers for them?


Would warm salt water gargles and wiping the outside with warm salt water be adequate for aftercare?


Is it possible to play with them by chewing them (Not that I want to!)


Anything else I need to know?Can anybody who's had a lip piercing before give me some advice on angel bites?
my lip healed in 4 weeks. i used a mouth wash called tech 2000. that stuff worked great (and it doesnt taste bad).


it will be a little akward the first few days with eating. the swelling factor and the fact that your not used to having the metal in your mouth.


clear retainers is always a possibility. they really dont hide the piercings that well thought. they just dont stick out as much or catch the eye. also you cant put them in until the piercing is at least a couple weeks old. depending on how the healing is going. all bodies heal differently.


sea salt is always a good way to clean your piercing. i suggest H2ocean. u can use it on the inside of ur mouth too.


as for playing with them. trust me once theyre there its almost impossible not to play with them.


anyway angel bites are a pretty sweet piercings. i would say go for the piercing! i loveee my lip piercing and it was the easiest and least painful piercing i have/had gotten.
