Tooth gems aren’t suitable for everyone. You may not be a candidate if any of the following apply to you:

• You’re under 18 years old

• You have gum disease, tooth decay, or plaque buildup

• You have oral cancer

• You have dental work (like veneers, crowns, or caps) on the tooth you'd like the gem on

• You’re currently wearing a retainer or Invisalign

Tooth Gem Appointment Prep Tips:

• Make sure to eat before you come in. You'll need to wait at least one hour after your appointment before eating to allow the gem to fully set and cure.

• Avoid acidic foods and drinks (like citrus fruits or juices) for at least 2 hours before your appointment.

• Brush and clean your teeth thoroughly beforehand to ensure the area is free of food or buildup.

• Tooth Gem Aftercare: Keep Your Sparkle Lasting! ✨

  To get the best results and longevity from your new tooth gem, please follow these aftercare tips:

  First 12–24 Hours:

  • Do not touch or play with the gem for at least 12 hours after placement.

  • Do not eat for 1 hour after your appointment — water is fine to drink.

  • Do not smoke for the first 12-24 hours (as much as possible)

  • Stick to soft foods only for the first 12 hours.

  • Do not brush your teeth for the first 12 hours.

  • Avoid using an electric toothbrush for 24 hours — just lightly brush by hand if needed.

  • Keep in mind that the adhesive may take up to 48–72 hours to fully cure.

  For Long-Lasting Results:

  • Avoid biting directly into sticky, crunchy, or hard foods with the tooth that has the gem.

  • Cut or tear hard foods into smaller pieces before eating.
    (Examples: Slice apples instead of biting into them, skip corn on the cob, and never crunch on ice.)

  • Maintain a good oral hygiene routine:

    • Gently brush with a soft-bristled toothbrush

    • Floss between teeth every morning and night

  • Continue seeing your dentist regularly — they can safely clean around the gem and help prevent buildup during checkups.
    If you ever want the gem removed, most dentists can do so safely for a small fee.
