AFTERCARE – TOOTH GEMS
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO PROLONG THE ADHESION OF YOUR TOOTH GEMS.
For the first two hours after the tooth gem is applied, do not eat, chew gum or consume sticky foods. Soft, non-sticky foods are recommended for 48 hours to improve the bonding of the gem to the tooth.
Do not brush your teeth for the first 12 hours after the tooth gem is applied. If using an electric toothbrush, wait 48 hours.
Do not touch or play with the tooth gem using your tongue or fingers, particularly immediately after application.
Water and clear liquids can be drunk immediately after application, but it is important to avoid fizzy drinks, coffee, tea and alcohol for the first 24 hours.
Do not smoke or vape for the first 12 hours after application.
Once the adhesive has fully hardened after 48 hours, maintain normal dental hygiene: this includes brushing three times a day, flossing and using mouthwash. It is important to keep teeth clean to prevent plaque forming around the tooth gem.
