'''Oral piercings''' are piercings in and around the mouth. Inside the mouth, these include:

* [[Tongue Piercing|Tongue piercing]], including [[Horizontal Tongue Piercing|horizontal tongue piercing]], [[Tongue Surface Piercing|tongue surface piercing]] and [[Venom Piercing|venom piercing]]s.
* [[Tongue Web Piercing|Tongue web piercing]]
* [[Upper_Lip_Frenulum_Piercing|Smiley]] and [[Frowny]] piercings.
* Less commonly, [[Uvula Piercing|uvula piercing]].

Many oral piercings are actually only "half oral" in that one half of the piercing is inside the mouth and the other half outside. In these cases, the aftercare is two-fold, with the inside being treated like a tongue piercing and the outside being treated like a body piercing. These piercings include:

* [[Labret|Labret piercing]], [[lip piercing]], [[Madonna Piercing|madonna piercing]], [[Medusa Piercing|medusa piercing]], and [[Vertical Labret|vertical labret piercing]].
* Also included but not as common are [[Lowbret|lowbret piercing]]s, [[Vertical Lowbret|vertical lowbret piercing]]s and [[Cheek Piercing|cheek piercing]]s.
* The [[Sprung Piercing]], a deep oral piercing, is also of this type, although it is very rare.
