Tongue piercings take 6 to 8 weeks to get a light heal, but the tongue is far from healed in that time, it can take another 2 months for the tongue to heal completely if not more depending on the level of your health. A tongue piercing without complications can fully heal in four weeks.
It is best to keep ice on your tongue as much as possible the first few days. Do not eat spicy food for the first two weeks. You are suppose to keep the longer piercing ring in for 10-14 days time depending on when the swelling goes down. Your tongue will be swollen for a few days to two weeks. If they do not give you a rinse, then you should buy some kind of sea salt solution and rinse with that. You could use Listerine but it is not recommended for the most part not right away. After about two weeks time you can change it to a smaller barbell. I would use a metal bar but acrylic balls. Acrylic balls are less likly to crack your teeth and wear down your enamel. Best way to change your tongue ring is to take the first one out, and replace it with a clean new one.
