What piercings have to do with white tongue
Immediately after piercing your tongue, you may notice a white film. This happens because the number of bacteria on the tongue increases, and it’s normal. Antibacterial mouthwash will help you get rid of it. There may also be a ring around piercings, which is also normal and means the tissue is healing.
If the plaque is caused by an injury (including piercings), it should take about 1.5 weeks to heal. You should avoid irritants such as hot, spicy or sour foods and drinks.
