Shine Bright Tooth Gems by Lauren
Are Tooth Gems Right for You?
If you have braces, retainers, invisalign, porcelain veneers, crowns, caps, dentures, or dental implants unfortunately no. If you wear a night guard for teeth grinding or a mouthpiece/teeth guard for sports you should have them placed on your lower teeth, not upper.

Gem Information & After-care
I use Swarovski flatback crystal gems and 18 karat gold charms.
- Please do not touch the gem or play with it. The bonding process takes up to 25+ hours.
- Do not smoke/vape right away, wait a full hour.
- You can drink water after but try to use a straw.
- Avoid alcohol for 12 hours as the gem needs this amount of time to ensure a long lasting bond.
- Try to eat only soft foods for the first day. Avoid hot coffee, tea, candy, sticky food, apples, corn on the cob, etc.
- If you have an electric toothbrush, wait to use it until 2 days after your procedure. A regular tooth brush is fine but limit the intensity of your brushing where your gem is placed. Alcohol free mouthwash is preferred for the first two days.
- If you no longer want your tooth gem, do not try to remove it yourself. Call your dentist to make an appointment. Unfortunately, I'm not able to remove them so make sure you think your decision through.
- Tooth gems typically last 2-12 months depending on how they are taken care of.
- Not to worry if you eventually swallow your gem. It will pass through your body naturally! :)
