How Long Does a Tooth Gem Stay On?
The lifespan of a tooth gem depends on several factors, including the application process, your oral habits, and how well you care for it. Let’s break it down.
1. Professional Application Matters
A professionally applied tooth gem can last anywhere from around 6 months to several years. At Noir Studio, we use high-quality dental adhesive and precise techniques to ensure your gem stays secure without damaging your tooth enamel.
2. Your Oral Hygiene Routine
Proper oral hygiene is key to the longevity of your tooth gem. Here are some tips:
• Brush gently: Use a soft-bristle toothbrush and avoid aggressive brushing around the gem.
• Floss carefully and daily: Be gentle around the gem to avoid dislodging it.
Using a water flosser can be highly beneficial if you have multiple tooth gems or a larger design, as it helps clean around them more effectively without risking damage. You do not need an expensive one, try amazon.
3. Teeth Grinding
Teeth grinding, or bruxism, can loosen your tooth gem over time. If you grind your teeth, consider visiting a local dentist for a night guard that fits over your tooth gems or trying relaxation techniques to reduce stress.
Meditation keeps your soul shining as brightly as your teeth. Take moments to relax and protect both your inner peace and your sparkling smile!
4. Smoking and Other Habits
Smoking and vaping can contribute to discolouration of the adhesive around your tooth gem, and habits like nail-biting or chewing on hard objects can reduce the lifespan of your gem.
If you are a smoker, using a hydrogen peroxide-based whitening toothpaste once a week can help reduce staining. Consider trying Colgate 5% Hydrogen Peroxide Whitening Toothpaste for effective results.
5. Maintenance and Replacement
If your gem does fall off, don’t worry! A replacement can be reapplied quickly and easily by a professional. Noir Studio offer one month warranty for all our toothgems.
To maximize the longevity of your tooth gem:
• Choose a professional application.
• Follow a gentle, consistence oral care routine.
• Avoid habits that could stress the gem.
