It actually depends on the person, the better you care for it, the faster the swelling will go down.
In some cases it can take up to a week.
Just make sure you wash it with antibacterial soap 3 times a day and make sure that you keep your fingers off of it.
Ice help to reduce swelling too.
I have spider bites and a monroe so I'm used to this type of thing
:]
also you should use biotene mouthwash,
and salt soaks, you put 1/8-1/4 of salt in a 8 once glass of water swish it around in you mouth dont swallow any though.
if you put to little in the glass it wont have an effect, (if i does it will be very slightly) if you put to much it will cause irritation :/
i have spiderbites and i did this and it helped alot! :) i hope it works out for ya!

How long does it take for the swelling to go down on a dimple piercing?
For the basic oral piercings, ie. lip piercing, monroe, labret etc etc; the swelling begins to go down after a few days. Since the cartilage for a dimple piercing is much thicker than that of a lip piercing, the swelling will take a little bit longer to go down. Usually 3-10 days before the swelling begins to go down, depending on how much you play with the jewelery, irritate the piercing, and even how you clean it can all alter the amount of time your piercing is swollen for!
