Everyone\u2019s bodies heal at different rates, so removing your piercing always leaves you open to the possibility of the hold closing, even when they are established piercings that have been healed for years. If you need to remove your jewelry and you would like to keep the piercing open we would recommend that you insert another piece of jewelry or something like a retainer, to keep the piercing open until you decide to put the jewelry back in.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\">\u00a0<\/p><ul><li><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">If you have removed your jewelry and are struggling to re-insert it yourself you can always book a \u2018jewelry insertion\u2019 appointment so that a piercer can assist you in re-inserting the jewelry. Keep in mind that we cannot use outside jewelry, per state law, so the jewelry must have been purchased from The Exotic Body and still be in a good enough condition that we feel safe re-using the piece.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\"><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Visit https:\/\/safepiercing.org\/aftercare\/ for more information<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Cleaning your new piercing\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p class=\\\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\\\" style=\\\"color: #030303; font-family: 'YACgEUFdPdA 0', _fb_, auto; --font-size: 22.4999px; --line-height: 1.04; line-height: 23px;\\\"><span class=\\\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\\\" style=\\\"font-weight: bold;\\\">Internal Care-<\\\/span><\\\/p><ul><li><span class=\\\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\\\" style=\\\"color: #030303;\\\">Keeping good oral hygiene practices is vital to heal your piercings properly.<\\\/span><\\\/li><\\\/ul><p class=\\\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\\\" style=\\\"color: #030303; font-family: 'YACgEUFdPdA 0', _fb_, auto; --font-size: 19.5px; --line-height: 1.04; line-height: 20px;\\\">\\u00a0<\\\/p><ul><li><span class=\\\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\\\" style=\\\"color: #030303;\\\">You should brush, floss, and use mouthwash once or twice a day<\\\/span><\\\/li><\\\/ul><p class=\\\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\\\" style=\\\"color: #030303; font-family: 'YACgEUFdPdA 0', _fb_, auto; --font-size: 19.5px; --line-height: 1.04; line-height: 20px;\\\">\\u00a0<\\\/p><ul><li><span class=\\\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\\\" style=\\\"color: #030303;\\\">Gently brush your jewelry with a clean, new toothbrush (a baby toothbrush is best for this, as the bristles are very very soft) to avoid plaque buildup, keep this toothbrush away from other toothbrushes to keep it as clean as possible, and make sure you rinse the toothbrush very well between cleanings<\\\/span><\\\/li><\\\/ul><p class=\\\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\\\" style=\\\"color: #030303; font-family: 'YACgEUFdPdA 0', _fb_, auto; --font-size: 19.5px; --line-height: 1.04; line-height: 20px;\\\">\\u00a0<\\\/p><ul><li><span class=\\\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\\\" style=\\\"color: #030303;\\\">Rinse out your mouth thoroughly after eating or drinking.<\\\/span><\\\/li><\\\/ul><p class=\\\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\\\" style=\\\"color: #030303; font-family: 'YACgEUFdPdA 0', _fb_, auto; --font-size: 19.5px; --line-height: 1.04; line-height: 20px;\\\">\\u00a0<\\\/p><p class=\\\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\\\" style=\\\"color: #030303; font-family: 'YACgEUFdPdA 0', _fb_, auto; --font-size: 19.5px; --line-height: 1.04; line-height: 20px;\\\"><span class=\\\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\\\">Use any or all of the following solutions for inside the mouth:<\\\/span><\\\/p><ul><li><span class=\\\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\\\" style=\\\"color: #030303;\\\">Alcohol-free and hydrogen peroxide-free mouth rinse.
