Tooth Gems are jewelry pieces that can be attached to your teeth by dentists, dental hygienists or other certified beauticians. This is not a new trend. Tooth Gems can be traced all the way back to Ancient Mayan Culture which spanned over parts of Mexico and Central America. It was a way for their elite class citizens to show their wealth and power. They would often use jade as the "gem" of choice and were applied, not by dentists, but by goldsmiths.
Now, as a modern twist, it is not only used to flaunt wealth but as a fashion statement, as it is used to channel your own individuality and style.
From Mayan to Modern
Tooth gems rose in popularity during the 90s, and another popularity spike happened in 2020, with it's popularity only increasing steadily. It helps that the process of adding gems to the teeth no longer required 'primitive' methods of installation, but rather a safer, more hygienic process. This ensures safety, cleanliness and an overall nicer, comfortable and more precise look.
