Why the First 24 Hours Matter
The first 24 hours after tooth gems application are crucial because the bonding material that holds the gem in place needs time to fully set. During this time, the adhesive is still curing and can be weakened by certain foods, drinks, or habits.
If you don’t take care during this period, the gem might loosen or fall off early. Also, your teeth and gums might feel a bit sensitive or different as they adjust to the new addition.
Taking simple steps to protect the bonding and avoid damage will help your tooth gems last longer and keep your smile looking fresh.
What You Can Eat
Eating the right foods in the first day after getting tooth gems is important. You want to avoid anything that could dislodge the gem or irritate your teeth.
Here are some safe options:
Soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, and smoothies
Room temperature or cool foods to avoid sensitivity from hot or cold items
Non-sticky fruits such as bananas or peeled apples
Soft cooked vegetables like carrots or zucchini
Try to chew on the opposite side of your mouth from where the gem is placed. This reduces pressure on the gem and bonding.
What You Should Avoid
Certain foods and habits can cause problems during the first 24 hours after tooth gems application. Avoid these to protect your new dental jewelry:
Hard or crunchy foods like nuts, chips, or raw carrots that can knock the gem loose
Sticky or chewy foods such as caramel, gum, or taffy that can pull on the gem
Hot drinks and foods that might cause sensitivity or weaken the bonding
Acidic drinks like citrus juices or soda that can erode enamel and affect the adhesive
Touching or playing with the gem with your tongue or fingers, which can loosen it
Smoking or using tobacco products as they can stain your teeth and affect healing
Following these guidelines helps keep your tooth gems secure and your teeth healthy.
How to Protect the Bonding
The bonding used to attach tooth gems is strong but needs care, especially in the first day. Here are some tips to protect it:
Avoid biting directly on the gem or using your teeth as tools
Drink through a straw when having cold or acidic drinks to reduce contact with the gem
Keep your mouth clean but gentle; don’t scrub the gem area aggressively
Avoid sudden temperature changes in your mouth, like switching quickly between hot and cold drinks
At Novum Studio, the tooth gems are applied with professional techniques and high-quality materials to ensure a secure and long-lasting finish. Still, your care in the first 24 hours makes a big difference.

First Day Cleaning Tips
Cleaning your teeth after getting tooth gems requires a gentle approach. Here’s how to keep your mouth fresh without risking the gem:
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean your teeth carefully
Brush around the gem gently, avoiding direct pressure on it
Rinse your mouth with water or a mild, alcohol-free mouthwash
Avoid flossing directly around the gem on the first day to prevent loosening the adhesive
If you feel any discomfort or notice the gem moving, contact your studio for advice
Good oral hygiene supports the health of your teeth and the longevity of your tooth gems.
