Staying Healthy
The best way to ensure your tooth gap jewelry always looks great is to talk to your dentist before you invest in a piece. Your dentist can help you choose gap jewelry that is made from quality materials and less likely to damage your smile. If you decide to wear gap jewelry, it's important that you choose a glue-free option that can be removed when you eat or when brushing your teeth. That way, debris is less likely to become trapped in and around the piece and you won't risk extra bacteria or bad breath.
If you're applying tooth gems, use a food-safe glue that is safe when consumed and remember that your saliva will slowly dissolve the glue. Remove the gems if they seem loose to avoid swallowing them.
It's better to wear gap jewelry as a once-in-a-while option to dress up your mouth. Oral jewelry all the time could disrupt your oral health and leave you with bacteria in your mouth that could cause oral disease. As a temporary way to brighten your smile, tooth gems might be a trendy way to express your style without any drastic changes to your teeth.
