Tooth Gem Aftercare & Safety: Keep It Bright & Secure | LaserGlow

Care Guide

The first 24 hours make or break longevity. Follow these enamel-safe steps to protect your bond, keep edges sealed, and maintain brilliant shine.


First 24 Hours

  • Avoid biting hard foods on the gem (nuts, ice, seeds).
  • Minimize heavy staining items (dark sauces, red wine) and rinse if consumed.
  • Brush gently around the gem; don’t pick or pry the edges.
If a corner lifts, don’t push it down—arrange removal/re-apply to prevent plaque trapping.

Daily Maintenance

Use a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive routine. Floss beside the gem using a glide motion to avoid snagging under edges.

Professional cleanings: tell your hygienist so they can work around the bond properly.

Sensitivity & Whitening

Mild sensitivity can occur if the area was dehydrated; it usually resolves. Avoid bleaching directly over the bond—remove and re-apply for intensive whitening plans.

Sports, Guards & Aligners

Confirm the gem doesn’t rub your appliance. If you grind, pick lower-stress placements and smaller stones for longer wear.

Red Flags

Snagging edges, food impaction, or persistent sensitivity warrant a check or removal.
