Tooth jewellery is not a modern invention. There is evidence that ancient Egyptians used to decorate their teeth, which must have been the symbol of wealth. Tooth jewellery is quite popular today, however, you should be aware of certain facts before placing one on your tooth.
Tooth jewellery is a perfect tool to highlight your teeth and make your smile more attractive. Tooth jewellery is a fashionable accessory, the tiny gems or other pieces of jewellery can make you look younger, unique and sexy. Tooth jewellery has become extremely popular through rap and hip-hop culture. There is a wide variety of tooth jewellery for men and women. They can be placed on any tooth provided it is healthy. Placement can be done by your dentist. You cannot have tooth jewellery on decayed or irregular teeth, or on teeth with tartar. Have your teeth checked before placing tooth jewellery.
Placement of tooth jewels
Most dentists agree that healthy teeth must not be damaged by drilling, so tooth jewellery is fixed on your teeth using dental adhesives. The decorations can be removed easily and your teeth are not damaged. However, your teeth must be acid etched before placing the tooth jewellery, therefore, frequent replacement of the jewellery can be harmful to the teeth. Pieces of jewellery that bulge out can be difficult to clean of food, which increases the risk of tooth decay. The jewellery can also weaken the enamel. Always consult your dentist before placing tooth jewellery.
How long can you have tooth jewellery on your teeth?
Tooth jewellery lasts until it comes off, so it is recommended for people who like smiling a lot and whose teeth are healthy and nice. If your teeth are misaligned, you are recommended to have orthodontic treatment. You can even have invisible braces, which are placed on the inner surface of your teeth.
