You are welcome to receive a tooth gem if you have or experience any of the following:
- Yellowing
- Crowding
- Gapped teeth
- crooked teeth
- Braces (gems will be placed around)
- Wire retainers (gems will be placed around)
- Grinding/clenching
These factors increase your risk of a tooth abscess:
- Poor dental hygiene. Not taking proper care of your teeth and gums - such as not brushing your teeth twice a day and not flossing - can increase your risk of tooth decay, gum disease, tooth abscess, and other dental and mouth complications.
- A diet high in sugar. Frequently eating and drinking foods rich in sugar, such as sweets and sodas, can contribute to dental cavities and turn into a tooth abscess.
- Dry mouth. Having a dry mouth can increase your risk of tooth decay.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Tooth gems of any kind can ONLY be placed on real teeth, no veneers or dentures. Retainers can also not fit over tooth gems. If you wear a wire retainer, please inform your technician.
TOOTH GEM REMOVAL
Smiles of Royalty does NOT offer tooth gem removals of any kind. Removing a gem or gems before they fall off naturally must be performed by a dental professional, it's the law!
IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY OF THE ISSUES LISTED ABOVE, PLEASE CONTACT A DENTAL PROFESSIONAL BEFORE BOOKING YOUR APPOINTMENT. AN APPOINTMENT IS STILL NOT GUARANTEED.
