All About the Gemz & Teeth Whitening Services

Tooth gems are tiny jewels or rhinestones that are placed on the tooth using a special adhesive. One important thing to note is that tooth gems have a lifespan of around six months, but some can last longer. To put aside any misconceptions, tooth gems do not damage your teeth. In fact, each tooth gem is custom-made to the clients’ specifications. Our shop is proud to announce our gems are Sparkle by Maya.

TOOTH GEMS BEFORE AND AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS & FAQS

Before You Get Blinged Out- READ THIS

You need to come to your appointment with clean, flossed teeth. If you are also considering a teeth whitening treatment, this should be done before your tooth gem is applied. And if you wear a retainer (the wire type), bring it along so your practitioner can ensure your tooth gem is placed correctly. Below are steps to ensuring your tooth gems last!


  • The process itself should take around 15 to 20 minutes, during which your practitioner will stick the gem to your tooth with special bonding material.
  • You won’t be able to eat for two hours after the procedure and will only be able to eat soft food for the next 24 hours.
  • Avoid high citrus foods/drinks 12 hours prior to your appointment.
  • Eat + drink beforehand since there is a 2 hour wait after application.
  • All other preparation will be done by your tooth gem artist.
  • If you have veneers, crowns or false teeth, please give us a call before booking. 
  • If you wear braces, you will not be able to get any type of tooth gem at this time.
  • If you wear a metal retainer, please bring the retainer so we can place the gem in the right area based on your retainer.
  • If you wear invisalign, you will not be able to get tooth gems at this time.

Aftercare Instructions

Now that you have received your tooth gem, here are some steps to follow after your procedure is done:


  • Do not touch or play with your tooth gem with your fingers or tongue.
  • Do not eat or drink for 2 hours following your tooth gem application. 
  • Avoid brushing the tooth gem for 24-48 hours following application. 
  • Do not use an electric toothbrush for 48 hours after application.  
  • Avoid chewing hard food for 24-48 hours following application.  
  • Avoid consuming highly acidic drinks 24-48 hours following application.
  • Keep teeth clean to avoid plaque buildup around the tooth gem.
  • We will replace any gem that has fallen off under 60 days without cost. We stand by our work, but we want nothing more than your happiness!


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How Long Do They Last?

  • As long as you take care of your tooth gem, you can expect it to last for around six months to up to two years.
  • Know that certain factors may limit the life of your tooth gem, such as brushing your teeth too hard, eating hard candy, injury to the mouth, or wearing retainers.


How is a tooth gem applied?

  • The Tooth Fairy will clean the tooth and the surrounding area with an antiseptic solution.
  • The Tooth Fairy will mark the spot where the tooth gem will be placed with a pen or a marker.
  • The Tooth Fairy will etch the tooth with an acid gel to roughen the surface and create a better bond for the glue.
  • The Tooth Fairy will apply a thin layer of glue on the back of the jewelry and press it gently onto the tooth.
  • The Tooth Fairy will use a curing light to harden the glue and secure the jewelry in place.- They will wipe off any excess glue and check the alignment and fit of the jewelry. The whole procedure usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes per tooth. It is painless and does not require any drilling or anesthesia.


What Happens If I Swallow My Tooth Gem?

  • In the unlikely event your tooth gem falls off and you swallow it, don’t panic! The gems we use are non-toxic and have no sharp edges, so it will be safe for it to pass through your body naturally. No, your poop will not glitter. :)


Why You Should Have Your Tooth Gem Applied in the Salon

  • If you want to brighten up your smile with bling, come and see us at Bad Decisions Tattoos and Piercings. Our Tooth Fairy will take great care of you!
  • We only use gems that are 18-24 carat gold or 100% certified advanced Swarovski crystal approved by the American Dental Association in a safe and painless procedure.


How Do You Clean Your Teeth With Tooth Gems?

  • You can continue to brush and floss as you normally do after getting a tooth gem. Like with braces, it’s important to keep the area around the tooth gem clean. 


How Do You Remove Tooth Gems?

  • Similar to the application process, tooth gems should only be removed by a professional — otherwise you run the risk of damaging the enamel of your teeth. Please do NOT attempt to remove the tooth gem yourself because the enamel might come off and damage your tooth. 
  • To remove the gems, you should make an appointment with your dentist. They wiill use a drill that essentially polishes the gem and bonding off the tooth. This is the same process they use if you ever had braces before, Tooth gem removal takes more time than the application because it won’t simply pop off. It requires extra care and precision to safely remove the gem and remaining bonding without damaging the enamel. That said, the procedure shouldn’t last more than 30 minutes. 


What Type of Gems Do You Use?

  • Bad Decisions Tattoos and Piercings is proud to share that we only uses top quality tooth jewelry that is safe for use in the mouth including - Authentic lead-free Swarovski and Preciosa crystals, 18k-22k gold charms, and genuine VS diamonds. We carry tooth gems from Sparkles by Maya. 


Can I Still Have My Teeth Cleaned Every Six Months?

  • Yes! You should still keep your dental appointments and keep brushing and flossing your teeth daily! Your oral hygiene routine should not change. 


How Old Do I have to Be?

  • We do prefer our clients to be 18 years of age, however with a parents consent we are willing to perform this procedure if you are 16 years of age or older. Parent or Guardian must sign the consent form, and be present for the aftercare instructions.

Teeth whitening Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@baddecisionstattoosandpiercings.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Stains on teeth appear when colored molecules stick to the plaque, tartar, and the surface of our teeth.  Dental cleanings help remove plaque and tartar, but sometimes the stains still appear in the layer below called the dentin.  The bleaching solution applied to the teeth combines with oxygen from the air and carbon in the dentin to break apart the staining molecules stuck on the teeth.


We offer several types of whitening including Carbamide Peroxide, Carbamide Peroxide with Potassium Nitrate Fluoride, and Hydrogen Peroxide.


Results from whitening vary from person to person and on the type of stains.  Teeth whitening generally works best on yellowish-brown stains compared to gray stains.


Our shop offers immediate whitening procedures take just one hour in most cases! You can relax and watch Netflix or Hulu or use our free internet to post videos and pics of your whitening experience in our comfortable, cozy shop.  Results vary depending on the type and level of staining and from person-to-person.


Teeth whitening works best on teeth free of plaque and tartar.  Staying current on your dental cleanings is important for your health, but will also ensure the best possible results for whitening.  If you are due for a cleaning, you can schedule the dental cleaning and the teeth whitening on the same day.  The cleaning should be complete before the teeth whitening.


Teeth whitening can cause sensitivity to the teeth and gums.  Some patients experience little to no sensitivity, while other patients may need to limit the strength and time of the bleaching to avoid sensitivity.  


Your dentist may recommend a special toothpaste to use prior to and after the procedure, as well as suggest only certain types of whitening.  If you do experience sensitivity after treatment, an OTC pain reliever can usually help to reduce the symptoms.


A major benefit of whitening your teeth by the tooth fairy is that you significantly reduce the risk of any damage to tooth enamel, gums, or otherwise.  We only use the proper and approved products for the safety of your teeth, including the proper products to protect your gums during the treatment. This will also reduce your chances for tooth sensitivity or root damage.


There is nothing special you need to do before whitening, however, the treatment does work best on healthy teeth free of plaque and tartar.  If you know you have teeth sensitivity, please start using Sensodyne toothpaste two weeks prior to your appointment.


To ensure the best results, you will want to avoid eating any foods or drinks that can stain teeth for at least 48 hours.  This includes coffee, tea, red wine, juices, berries, foods with artificial colors, etc.  You should also refrain from smoking as long as possible.


Whitening does not change the color/shade of dental veneers or any non-natural tooth restoration.


Whitening does not change the color/shade of dental bonding/composite or any non-natural tooth restoration.


Teeth whitening lasts longest when patients follow a healthy diet, avoid smoking, avoid teeth staining foods and drinks, utilize a straw when possible, and maintain regular dental cleanings.
