The tongue is a muscular organ in the mouthof a typical vertebrate. It manipulates food for mastication and swallowing as part of the digestive process, and is the primary organ of taste. The tongue's upper surface (dorsum) is covered by taste buds housed in numerous lingual papillae. It is sensitive and kept moist by saliva and is richly supplied with nervesand blood vessels. The tongue also serves as a natural means of cleaning the teeth.[2] A major function of the tongue is the enabling of speech in humans and vocalization in other animals.The human tongue is divided into three parts, an oral part at the front and a pharyngeal part at the back. The left and right sides are also separated along most of its length by a vertical section of fibrous tissue (the lingual septum) that results in a groove, the median sulcus, on the tongue's surface.There are two groups of muscles of the tongue. The four intrinsic muscles alter the shape of the tongue and are not attached to bone. The four paired extrinsic muscles change the position of the tongue and are anchored to bone.

Some common tongue problems include canker sores, oral thrush, and geographic tongue. Canker sores are small ulcers that can be painful and heal on their own. Oral thrush is a fungal infection that can cause white patches on the tongue. Geographic tongue is a condition where the tongue has irregular patches that change in location over time. If you are experiencing persistent or severe tongue problems, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Get a biopsy and get checked fore HPV
I have been mis-diagnosed for many years due to a white tongue. The white patches come and go and only occasionally cause any discomfort. I recently had sinus surgery and requested that they do a biopsy during surgery. The results - HPV. All of that Diflucan, Nystatin, etc. for HPV. (Human papilloma Virus) I wonder what harm has been done by years of taking drugs for the wrong thing.

Initially, you may have some difficulty speaking normally after getting a tongue piercing due to swelling and discomfort. However, as the piercing heals and the swelling subsides, most people are able to speak normally. It's important to follow aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing.

Well unless you did the piercing yourself, the chances your tongue is getting infected from it being done by a professional body piercer working in a licensed and inspected shop is slim to nil. The only way a professionally done piercing will get infected is through client abuse or neglect, failure to maintain correct aftercare and personal hygiene is the only means that will cause an infection. So if you ignore your piercing, fail to keep it clean and fail to follow your written aftercare instructions, yes you will wind up with and infection. But you will never wind up with an infection from a professionally performed body piercing.

The list of problems with tongue piercings can be quite long by condensed to a few simple things.
- Galvanic corrosion
- Dental damage to teeth
- Gum erosion
The above are the big three, which I will explain in a bit of detail.
Galvanic corrosion occurs when unlike metals are submerged in and electrolyte. This would be stainless steel thread on balls on a titanium barbell shaft. (unlike metals) The electrolyte is the saliva in the mouth which is acidic, just like a car battery with lead and zinc plate in acid an electrical field is formed which can over time destroy the metal of the barbell (either the steel or the titanium) this can also lead to sore throats and oral irritation.
Dental damage to the teeth is generally due to clients not getting a shorter barbell in the tongue piercing once the swelling goes down, this in concert with playing with the barbell against the teeth can cause chipping and wear on the tooth enamel.
Gum erosion again is due to the failure to get the shorter barbell in the piercing once the initial swelling has eased, the balls rubbing inside the mouth can wear out the inner lining of the mouth and guns causing root exposure and tooth sensitivity.

whoa... i suppose it affects your grammar as well. BAZIIIING Once the swelling goes down ( about two weeks ) you should be able to talk fairly well. I would recommend getting the step down barbell once the swelling has eased, this will prevent you from biting down on the barbell and doing any dental damage.

The world is a big place and that in mind not every place will charge the same price for piercings, nor will the regulations about age limits and parental consent be the same. Your best bet is to call your local body piercing studios and ask the questions you need answers to, they can advise about costs and age limits that apply to your area.
