How do you take care of a tongue peircing?

Question

I'm going to Panama City Fla. and since there are so many peircing places around where I'm staying it should be easy to find a clean parlor with experienced peircers.

But I want to know how to take care of it after it's done. Since you mouth comes in contact with a variety of food drinks and bacteria everyday. Are there any foods or drinks I should stay away from until it heals? Can you tell me what you at least think I should do?

I'm not doing it because it's trendy or popular or for... oral sex (uugh).. I think peircings are beautiful way to express yourself and are quite attractive.

When you get it pierced they will give you instructions on how to care for it. But believe me right after you get it done eat whatever you want cause once your tongue realizes what you did to it it's gonna swell up and hurt for at least a week. Don't panic though it has to go through it's healing phase. Make sure you rinse your mouth and just keep it clean. Don't take it out until it's completely healed. Oh yeah do not sleep on your stomach to where you're gonna put pressure on it. I did that and it wouldn't stop bleeding...I thought my tongue was gonna fall off. Just care for it and you should be fine.

Alright my dear, heres what you do. I personally suggest looking on the APP (Association of Professional Piercers) website www.safepiercing.org to find a certified piercer in that area. I have personally gone to a piercer who was not a member of APP, and have had good and bad experiences. But since I have gone to an APP piercer, I will never go back. Also, this website will give you detailed aftercare instructions.
