New tongue piercing rubbing against my gums

I recently got my tongue pierced almost a week ago and I’m just getting used to the horrible healing process. The swelling has gone down and it doesn’t hurt too much whenever I eat (sometimes) but when I noticed the swelling going down, I noticed the piercing is ribbing against the bottom front teeth and its irritating my gums. The bar is pretty long so I’m assuming I have to getting a shorter but I don’t want to wait another week to change it out 😭
