Applied with high grade dental adhesives Swarovski tooth gems require a few small aftercare steps to ensure their longevity & the health of the teeth which they are applied. Please arrive to your tooth gem appointment with clean teeth and understand tooth gems may only be applied to healthy, natural teeth (no caps, veneers or front facing fillings, exposed decay or disease.) Immediately following your tooth gem application, you will need to avoid eating/drinking for 1 hour. Avoid brushing teeth, eating hard foods or touching gems for 12hours post application. It is recommended to continue to be careful eating hard foods around the gem placement to ensure longevity of the tooth gem. If you wish to prematurely remove a tooth gem you will need to visit a dentist for safe removal. Auralite Beauty offers 1 replacement gem in the event of losing a tooth gem within the first month  after application.
