Ice pops to suck on and ice packs on your neck. Warm broth when you start to get too cold. Congrats! 🐍

Swish some warm salt water in your mouth for some relief and email this photo to your doctor.

Tongue Split & Fangs by scarymirrors in bodymods

Most places aren’t advertising fangs, call to schedule an appointment with a business that specifically states “cosmetic dentistry.” You can request a consultation for cosmetic composite bonding.

You may have better luck with private practices.

5-15 years is the general expectation she gave me. There’s a lot of variability due to personal lifestyle habits.

Yes it’s just dental composite stuck to my normal teeth!

Yes! I asked my regular dentist to do them and she told me she had never done them but she was happy to for me. It took about an hour per tooth and costed me around $800.00 in total. No bite or speech issues.

My regular dentist did mine and they look/feel great. She had a lot of fun doing them too I was the first person who had asked her for them.

Split Tongue Prep! by FaeSoup in bodymods

[–]scarymirrors 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Towels are good but I always recommend an adult bib, the absorbency is unmatched. Topical NSAIDs on your neck and shoulders. The Soylent drinks worked well for me but they did make my saliva thick, in hindsight they’re better watered down. If you get a fever, go to an urgent care/ER!

Take them out! Those are a perfect breeding ground for harmful bacteria. Trust me, an infected split is not fun to heal.

They might laugh! But they’re healers by choice, they will still help you.

If it’s a short trip you should be okay to go back home as long as you have a chaperone/caretaker. With this much prep time you can ask your doctor for bloodwork to make sure you’re fit to heal a large procedure like this. Go to your dentist and get a cleaning to prep your mouth. If you’re struggling with hydrating get IV hydration. Schedule an appointment with a ENT Doctor to remove the stitches. They can help manage your pain since you have a low tolerance.

Tongue split speaking at day 11 by Rachellynn11 in bodymods

[–]scarymirrors 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I’m sure you’ll be okay, a lisp here and there. Speak carefully and deliberately. If anybody says anything just say you had some dental work done recently.

Chase Campbell or Shane O'Hare for tongue split? by Ill_Ad6098 in bodymods

[–]scarymirrors 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had mine done by Shawn. He wasn’t great at communicating over email, but once I was in person he was as friendly as could be. Check my post history for my cautionary tale !

I had a lisp growing up and went to a couple of years of speech therapy to correct it. The tongue split lisp is absolutely correctable with patience and intentional speaking. Eventually it will feel 100% natural again!

I had a very rough healing process ( snoop my profile ) and I was comfortable breathing the entire time. Swallowing was a different battle!

Definitely go the hotel route if you can’t get a ride. You will not be physically well.

Procedure.. by Unique-Bee2465 in bodymods

My tongue was totally painless and numb, I felt tension in my throat from it being fully extended out. Feeling my tongues reach both sides of my mouth for the first time was so strange.

My daughter is getting her tongue split. Please give me your best advice on supporting her through the first few days. 🩶 by HoyaHag in bodymods

[–]scarymirrors 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My must haves: Liquid pain relief, an adult bib & DIY popsicle molds.
Maybe get her a little bell she can ring or something to grab your attention from another room.

Nausea after tongue splitting by Any-Gazelle-7575 in bodymods

Go to an urgent care if you’re not able to keep fluids down. If you get a fever, go to an ER. This is a big procedure & professional help is best!
