Oral Fraenum piercing is one that is done at that part of the gum, which joins the upper lip and the upper set of teeth. Since this is a very delicate area, micro jewelry like ball closure rings is used to pierce this area.

This area takes around 4-12 weeks to heal. Oral piercing has an advantage over other piercing as they have friendly bacteria, present in the mouth, which protects you from further risk of external infection.

You have to be very careful when you get an oral fraenum piercing done as it is done in the gums. You can show it off every time you smile but otherwise this piercing remains unnoticed. So think twice before getting this piercing done.

If you have decided to get this piercing done, there are lots of factors that you need to keep in mind. Firstly since it is done near the teeth, you will have to go on a liquid diet for a few days till the piercing heals. You will not be able to chew hard food for some time as it will put lot of pressure on the piercing. Smoking and drinking are a complete no-no as it leads to infection.

You also need to rinse your mouth with saline solution regularly. You can also use a mouthwash to keep your mouth clean, but do not overuse it, as it tends to kill the friendly bacteria.

Also, there is a risk of biting and swallowing the jewelry since it is very small. So be very careful and keep checking on it regularly.

Infection from this piercing can be very dangerous, as it tends to spread in to the blood, and may lead to a major problem. So, if you notice any risk of infection consult your doctor immediately.

It is important to be careful when you get an oral piercing done, maintaining after care instructions will ensure you have a safe piercing experience.
