These tiny little designs are great fun, and because there’s no drilling involved, they won’t harm your teeth. Popularized by singers such as Pink, Tooth Jewellery is the latest in fashion accessories today. Tooth Jewels are glass crystals designed specifically for dental use. The crystals have a special coating on the back and their facet cut reflects the light and makes it sparkle like a diamond.

Teeth jewellery is gaining popularity and includes placing diamonds or gems on the teeth. The idea of flashing a red ruby or a blue sapphire only adds to the joy that is revealed through the smile. Tooth gems are colorful crystal glasses mounted on a thin aluminum foil which can be used on the teeth. Unlike body tattoos and piercings, there is no invasive procedure involved in dental jewellery placement and is therefore much safer. There is no drilling required, no pain, and hardly any extra maintenance after their placement. These gems or crystals can be placed even for special occasions and removed later.

  • The etchant is then rinsed off with water and the tooth is again dried for about 10 seconds.

  • A light-curing bonding agent is applied on the tooth, left in place for about 20 seconds, light-cured, rinsed off and dried again.

  • Place a small amount of flow composite on the tooth surface.

  • Using a small forceps, pick up the jewel to be placed on the tooth without touching with fingers.

  • Avoid skin contact especially on the back of the jewel.

  • Position it in the desired way and apply gentle pressure.
