Answers:
I'll answer one question at a time!.!.!.
1!. Yes smoking does cause infections easier, especially during the healing process!.
2!. You shouldn't take any antibiotics unless you know you do infact have an infection!. Cepocol is the best mouthwash to use! During the healing process use it all the time!. After you do anything with your mouth, smoke, eat, drink, anything!!
3!. Clear alcohol only!. Anything else will give you a yeast infection!.
4!. Yes infections are very common with an oral piercing, due to lack of sterilization on the piercers part you lack of proper after care!.
5!. Im sure having braces doesn't make it any easier to have a tongue ring, I don't think you understand that you randomly bite down on it all time time and having braces along with that cannot feel good!. Also it might make it more difficult for your orthidontist!.
6!. The first 3-5 days you wont be eating much but soup and jello and drinking a lot!. Your tongue will be so swollen you wont even be able to eat "easy" foods well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Smoking does increase infection!. DO NOT DO IT WITH A FRESH PIERCING!.
Biotene is nice and easy to find at CVS, Rite Aid, whatever!. Also mix one cup of water with 1/4 tsp!. seal salt and swish around!. It tastes nasty but is great for piercings!.
You shouldn't drink alcohol when trying to heal ANY piercing, but especially not a tongue piercing!. The alcohol can really mess with the piercing itself, but it can also slow down your body's healing process and contribute to swelling!.
Infection isnt' too common unless you don't take care of it!. If you don't take care of it, it WILL get infected!.
I'd wait until after I got my braces off; in many cases orthodontists ask patients to remove oral jewelry when tightening, removing braces, etc!. Also, if you have to then get retainers and stuff after the braces are off, talking will be a pain in the ***!. So I would just wait!.
As for food, you should try to eat soft foods just for the first day or two and then move on to normal foods so your body has the nutrition to heal!. When you eat, take verrrry small bites!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ive had my tounge pierced since my freshman year in high school !.!. now im 21!.!. dont smoke when you just get it done that will make you more prone for an infection wait like a month (if you cant help not smoking use mouth wash or brush your teeth right after) !.!. i liked to mix half mouth wash and half water that way it doesnt burn so much! (any mouth wash is fine) yes you can drink alcohol it wont bother it just make sure after you eat or drink you brush your teeth and use mouth wash RIGHT AFTER especially the first month!.!.!. yes it is VERY easy to get an infection make sure you brush your teeth after everymeal and after you drink something besides water!.!.!. no braces do not affect your pierced tounge just adds a little more metal lol (i had braces when i got it done) apple sauce, pudding jello!.!.!. do not eat pasta!!!! lol or anything hard to chew your tounge is going to be pretty swollen depending on your sensitivity to the metal =) good luck!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Well!.!.!.for starters!. Tongue piercings can really mess up your teeth, esspecially the metal bar you start with!. So as soon as your done I suggest switching to a plastic one!.
--Smoking is more likely to cause an infection!.
--You can drink alcohol but it might burn and irritate the piercing (not infected but might swell more)
--I don't know how common it is to get an infection!. I've peirced mine 3 times (seperate, usually closed up because I had to take it out for work), and have not gotten one infection!.
-- Braces + Tongue piercing = too much metal in the mouth for my book!.
--Us the mouthwash they give you at the piercing place!. If you run out, you can buy more!. Or just use a regular mouth wash (listerine,ACT) but go with clear!.!.!.can cause a colored circle around your peircing (weird I know)!.
-- Eat soft stuff if your tongue is sore!. Like Mash potateos, oatmeal etc!. If its not bothering you, eat whatever you want!.

You shouldn't smoke when you get the piercing, it can slow down the healing process and cause discomfort!. but if you do smoke rinse your mouth out after!
Eat small amounts of food!.!. things like soup, mashed bananas, rice!.!.!.!.
And dont drink alcohol!
The piercing only takes 2 weeks to heal im sure you can last that long!. As for braces it shouldn't be a problem, just make sure they are always clean, and keep washing out your mouth!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

when I got my tongue done, they told me to rinse with mouthwash cut 50/50 with water!. strait mouthwash is going to chemically burn your fresh piercing!.
If you smoke, just rinse after every ciggie!.
keep it clean and keep playing with it, and you should be fine!.
the eating thing, i found that by day 2 or 3 i had about 5 minutes to shovel as much food into my face as i could before my tongue would call it quits!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
