First 24 Hours After Application
The first day after getting tooth gems is critical for their durability. The adhesive used to attach the gem needs time to set properly. Follow these steps to protect your new tooth gem:
Avoid eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes after application to allow the glue to harden.
Stick to soft foods for the first 24 hours. Avoid crunchy, sticky, or hard foods that could dislodge the gem.
Do not touch or play with the gem using your tongue or fingers. This can weaken the bond.
Avoid hot beverages like coffee or tea during this period, as heat can affect the adhesive.
Skip alcohol and smoking for the first day, as these can interfere with the glue setting.
By following these simple steps, you give your tooth gem the best chance to stay firmly in place.
Daily Cleaning Routine
Keeping your tooth gems clean is key to maintaining their shine and preventing plaque buildup around the gem. Here’s how to clean tooth gems effectively:
Brush gently twice a day using a soft-bristled toothbrush. Use circular motions around the gem to avoid loosening it.
Use non-abrasive toothpaste to prevent scratching the gem or the enamel around it.
Floss carefully around the gem to remove food particles and plaque. Use a floss threader if needed to avoid snagging.
Rinse with an alcohol-free mouthwash to keep your mouth fresh and reduce bacteria without damaging the adhesive.
Avoid whitening toothpaste or harsh chemicals near the gem, as these can weaken the bond.
A consistent cleaning routine will keep your tooth gem sparkling and your teeth healthy.
What to Avoid
Certain habits and products can shorten the life of your tooth gems. Avoid these to protect your investment:
Do not bite hard objects like ice, pens, or fingernails. This can chip or dislodge the gem.
Avoid sticky or chewy foods such as caramel, chewing gum, or taffy that can pull the gem off.
Limit acidic foods and drinks like citrus fruits, soda, and vinegar, which can weaken the adhesive.
Avoid teeth grinding or clenching. If you grind your teeth at night, consider a mouthguard to protect your gems.
Do not use abrasive whitening strips or treatments on teeth with gems, as they can loosen the adhesive.
By steering clear of these habits, you help your tooth gems last longer and stay secure.
