Daily Brushing Routine

Keeping your tooth gem clean starts with a good daily brushing routine. Tooth gems are attached to your enamel with dental adhesive, so you need to be gentle but thorough.

• Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to avoid scratching the gem or loosening it.

• Brush your teeth at least twice a day, focusing on the area around the gem.

• Use a fluoride toothpaste to protect your enamel and keep your teeth healthy.

• Brush in small, circular motions around the gem to remove plaque without applying too much pressure.

• Rinse your mouth with water after brushing to wash away any leftover toothpaste or debris.

  
  

Avoid aggressive scrubbing or using hard-bristled brushes, as this can damage the gem or the adhesive holding it in place.

Tools You Should Use

Choosing the right tools helps maintain your tooth gem’s shine and your dental hygiene.

• Soft-bristled toothbrush: This is the safest option for cleaning around tooth gems.

• Interdental brushes: These small brushes can clean between teeth and around the gem where a regular toothbrush might miss.

• Floss: Use floss carefully around the gem to remove food particles and plaque. Avoid snapping the floss, which could dislodge the gem.

• Mouthwash: An alcohol-free mouthwash helps reduce bacteria without drying out your mouth or weakening the adhesive.

  
  

Electric toothbrushes can be used if they have a gentle setting, but avoid high-speed or abrasive modes near the gem.

What to Avoid While Cleaning

Certain habits and products can harm your tooth gem or your dental health.

• Avoid whitening toothpaste or abrasive powders, as they can scratch the gem’s surface.

• Do not use metal or hard picks to clean around the gem; these can loosen or damage it.

• Avoid biting hard foods directly with the gem tooth, such as nuts or ice, to prevent the gem from falling off.

• Stay away from alcohol-based mouthwashes that can weaken the adhesive.

• Do not try to remove the gem yourself if it feels loose or damaged. This can harm your tooth enamel.

  
  

By avoiding these risks, you protect both your gem and your natural teeth.

Professional Cleaning Advice

Even with careful daily care, professional cleaning is important to keep your tooth gem and teeth in top condition.

• Visit your dentist or dental hygienist regularly for check-ups and cleanings.

• Professionals can safely clean around the gem without risking damage.

• If your gem becomes loose or damaged, a professional can reattach or replace it.

• At Novum Studio in Rotterdam, tooth gems are applied with expert care to ensure a secure and long-lasting finish. They can also advise you on the best cleaning practices tailored to your gem.
