use warm salt water.. swill it round... spit:)
Natural Sea Salt and tap water. I use a pinch of salt for a shotglass amount of warm water. or you can use 1/4 tsp of salt for 8 oz water.
Either a mixture of natural sea salt and water or an alcohol-free mouthwash. Mouthwash makes it feel a bit cleaner/fresher imo.
just water alone wont work, salt solution is good, and its pretty cheap too. Or you could just put some toothpaste in a bit of water, mix it and then use that.
Use an alcohol free mouthwash to rinse with. muffinmoose93: H2Ocean is only a couple bucks and is what i got at the piercing shop, also there is a very expensive but highly recommended mouthwash called Biotene, and I've never done it...mixing sea salt with water.
Absolutely, I have always used just sea-salt soaks on my piercing and have never had a problem and actually healed faster than most people. However, you must be sure to wash the area (maybe not the piercing directly) with an antibacterial soap, and if it's your tongue you will want to use an alcohol free mouthwash along with the salt soaks.
No
Warm water is really the only alternative. You definitely need to either pick up some natural sea salt or alcohol-free mouthwash ASAP
No, you shouldn't be using salt on the piercing at all if it is infected. Wash the piercing using lathered soap, work the soap into the piercing and then irrigate the piercing with running water while rotating or shuffling the jewellery to rinse the soap and infected dishcharge from the piercing.
If you were to clean your piercing with salt by itself, it would certainly hurt! What people actually clean their piercing with is saline solution- a mix of sea salt and water. (A good ratio to use is 1 table spoon of salt per cup of water.) The saline solution itself should not hurt your piercing. However, sometime cleaning a piercing will irritate it. This may hurt, but the salt is not responsible.
Yes if you used boiled water and 1 tsp of salt to 1 pint of water.
