It's a matter of good oral care and using you head during the initial healing stages of the piercing. Think before you act. The internet is full of tongue piercing Horror stories, none of them point out that the person with the piercing did something stupid, like not caring for the piercing or not noticing the warning signs of a serious issue brewing. During the first few weeks it's important to "not panic" but "pay attention" to your piercing, if you have a problem or you think there is an issue, go see your piercer. That's what you paid for and your piercer should be available to look at and answer questions about your piercing.

Basically not listening to your professional body piercer's detailed instructions can cause you a great deal of needless grief. Follow your aftercare instruction you were provided with and all should be great, problems contact you piercer.
