You've just ordered a tooth gem kit or are considering purchasing one, and you wonder: how long does such a tooth jewel actually last? Good question – because no one wants their tooth diamond to fall off after a few days. In this blog, we explain exactly what you can expect and how to ensure that your tooth gem stays on as long as possible.
Average wear time of a tooth gem
Most tooth gems stay securely in place between 2 weeks to 2 months. In some cases – with proper placement and care – even up to 3 months or longer.
How long your tooth jewel stays in place depends on several factors such as:
- The quality of the adhesive 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 handle your teeth (chewing, teeth grinding, etc.)
What makes the difference?
Tooth gems can surprisingly last a long time, as long as you use a good tooth jewel kit and follow the instructions carefully. Many people use professional bonding gel + a UV lamp – just like in the kits from SelfGem.
Also important: avoid eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth immediately after application. Give the jewelry at least 1 hour to fully cure.
Tips to keep your tooth jewelry longer
- Do not eat hard or sticky things with the tooth where your jewel is placed
- Brush gently with a soft toothbrush
- Use a straw for cold or hot drinks if necessary
- Avoid mouthwash with alcohol – this can loosen the adhesive
Can I remove it myself?
Yes. If your tooth diamond starts to come loose or if you're tired of it, you can carefully remove it. Never use force! In most cases, you can gently shift the jewelry until it comes off. Any adhesive residue can be removed with a clean cotton swab and toothpaste. For stubborn residue: have a dentist take a look.
Is it a problem if it comes off earlier?
Not at all. Because it is not a permanent procedure, it is normal for your tooth gem to come off after a while. That's exactly the beauty of this trend: you can constantly vary with different shapes, colors, or combinations. No damage, no regrets – just a new vibe!
