From rap greats like Drake to models like Hailey Beiber, tooth gems are the new jewelry trend.
As the resurgence of the ‘90s and 200’s comes back into full swing, it’s no surprise that tooth gems are making their return. From big-time musicians, such as Halsey, to influencers such as Kylie Jenner, the teeth of the Hollywood elite are dazzling once more.
For those who are unfamiliar with the trend, a tooth gem is a small gem that is glued to the outer enamel of a tooth. Semi-permanent tooth gems are applied the same way as braces. An acid solution is placed on the desired tooth and roughens the enamel. After, the tooth gem is placed onto the tooth with an adhesive and cured under a curing lamp. Permanent tooth gems require a hole to be drilled into the tooth for the gem to sit, so make sure that you’re 100% certain about your decision before opting for the permanent option.
As tooth gems become one of 2022’s most popular trends, here are some must-have tooth gems to begin blinging up your mouth.
