No the retainers do not provide enough room for the swelling that you will encounter in the first 72 hours post piercing, you need to have a barbell first, then you can go to a retainer in about 2 to 3 weeks time.
For most people it does although at first it takes time as the swelling goes down.
Well time to visit your doctor.
It varies from person to person, but typically a lisp after tongue piercing can last for a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take some time for your tongue to adjust to the piercing and for the swelling to go down, which can affect speech temporarily.
I dont think that would be the safest thing to do, its a read flag for infection

It is recommended to wait at least 4-6 weeks before kissing someone after getting a tongue piercing.

It is important to follow aftercare instructions provided by your piercer to ensure proper healing.
The sensation of piercing varies from place to place, the tongue when pierced doesn't hurt so much as actually more a sensation of pressure. The nipples are again another sensation (keeping in mind we are talking about piercings done by a professional body piercer with skill and experience) completely different from tongue piercing. The sensation of pain is reduced by the client's mind set* (* do you want the piercing or don't you, if you want something it's much easier than when you have reservations about doing it ) and the skill of the piercer.
Tongue piercings do not hurt much. Even a tongue web or double tonuge which seem to have a higher pain level, do not hurt too much. As ar as I 've experienced, an ear piercing hurts more than any other piercing. I am plannig to have a conch piercing and just read at site rightpiercing dot com that it hurts too much if I plan to have an inner and outer conch at the same time. Emily
Well getting a tongue piercing should be up to you, it's your body and your decision. You need to ask yourself if it's something you want and if so are you ready to go through the healing time and the swelling and discomfort in order to get it. Oral piercings are serious piercings and should never be taken lightly, there are risks and all these need to be discussed with your professional body piercer before you commit to getting the piercing. Talk to your piercer before you decide, that's what they are there for, ask questions and get answers that make sense to you.
Yes. After the piercing heals your speech will improve and will eventually return to normal.
You could get a longer piercing but that could be uncomfortable and is not reccomended. Depending on how long you have had the piercing, if you have had for a long period of time the depression could take a very long time to disappear or could say like that forever if you decide to remove it.
