How long after my tongue ring should i wait to eat anything acidic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
48/72 hours: It should take two to three days for the tongue to heal after piercing , since it's highly vascular and filled with blood vesicles that promotes fast healing assuming you are following good oral hygiene measures.
