How long will the tooth gem last?
6-24 months for the Swarvoski crystals, Brilliance crystals and shaped gems. 6 -12 Months for the real gold jewels & real diamonds due to the extra weight on those gems.

Tooth Kandy gems are 0.4mm or 0.9mm thick and 1.8mm to 3mm in diameter. You will initially feel something on your tooth, but a few days after the application you will get used to the new feeling.

What if the gem falls off and I swallow it?
The gems are tiny glass crystals or gold gems. They have no sharp edges. It will basically come out "the natural way" the same as it went inside your body.
Can I still have my teeth cleaned by my dentist/hygienist?
Yes. You should continue to regularly have your teeth cleaned by a professional. Tooth Kandy gems will not cause a problem for the hygienist cleaning your teeth. The area underneath the gem is sealed like a filling and will not let in any bacteria. The hygienist can easily polish on top and around the gem with a soft point.
