You have just ordered a Tooth Gem Kit or are considering purchasing one, and you are wondering: how long does such a Tooth Gem actually stay on? Good question – because nobody wants their Tooth Gemstone falls off after just a few days. In this blog, we explain exactly what you can expect and how to ensure your Tooth Gem stays in place for as long as possible.
Average wear time of a Tooth Gem
Most Tooth Gems stay on for between 2 weeks to 2 months fit well. In some cases – with proper placement and care – even up to 3 months or longer.
How long your Tooth Gem stays on depends on several factors, such as:
- The quality of the glue or bonding in your Tooth Gem Kit
- How well your tooth was cleaned and dried before application
- How much saliva or moisture was present during placement
- How you treat your teeth, such as chewing, grinding, and biting on hard objects
What makes the difference?
Tooth Gems can stay in place for a surprisingly long time, provided you have a good Tooth Gem Kit is used and the instructions are followed carefully. Proper preparation, sufficient drying time, and careful application make a big difference in the final wear time.
Also important: avoid eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth immediately after application. Give the gem at least 1 hour to fully cure.
Tips to keep your Tooth Gem longer
- Do not eat hard or sticky things with the tooth that has your jewel on it
- Brush gently with a soft toothbrush
- Use a straw for cold or hot drinks if possible
- Avoid mouthwash with alcohol – this can loosen the glue
- Do not bite on the gem and do not use your teeth to open packaging
Can I remove it myself?
Yes. If your Tooth Gemstone starts to come loose or if you are tired of it, you can gently remove it. Never use force. In most cases, you can gently let the jewel come loose when it is already clearly loose. It is better not to scrape away any stubborn glue residue yourself. Have a dentist look at it if the surface continues to feel rough or if you are in doubt.
Is it a problem if it comes off sooner?
Not at all. Because it is not a permanent procedure, it is normal for your Tooth Gem to come off after a while. The wear time varies per person and depends on, among other things, the placement, care, and daily wear and tear on your teeth.
That is the beauty of this trend: you can constantly vary with other shapes, colors, or combinations. When you want to put together a look again, you can choose from different Tooth Gems and styles to put together your next combination yourself.
