The main aesthetic reasons include:
  • Individuality: A tooth gem helps you stand out by adding a sparkling touch to your smile.
  • On-trend appeal: More and more people are embracing tooth gems, making them a highly sought-after aesthetic trend.

What care and aftercare are needed following tooth gem application?

Points to consider:
  • Foods to avoid
  • The right oral hygiene products to use
  • Signs to look out for, such as pain or irritation

After application, suitable care is important to help the gem last. Avoid particularly hard or sticky foods, as they could dislodge it. Use a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste to protect the enamel while keeping the gem in place. It is also important to watch carefully for any sign of pain or irritation. In the rare event that either occurs, consult a dentist promptly.
