Welcome to www.toothgems.co.uk
Tooth jewellery is not a new thing; originating in smile-obsessed America, it has been around for a long time but now the phenomenon is really starting to catch on in countries across the world. We commonly see jewellery in and around the mouth; tongue and lip piercings are extremely popular amongst some social and cultural groups today, but tooth jewellery is a little less common. Whether it be tooth gems, dental grills or your child�s milk teeth turned into a fashionable necklace, your teeth no longer have to be a simple practicality. You can use your teeth, or your child�s, to make a fabulous fashion statement in the same way you may choose to use your tongue, your lips and the rest of your body � your ears, your nails or your hair for example.
We have long accepted tattoos and piercings as body art, an expression of one�s individuality; even if we do not necessarily find these forms of expression attractive or something we would choose for ourselves. It is a personal taste but, on the whole, we accept them nonetheless.
Tooth jewellery is another form of self expression and when done properly it really can add a special something to your smile. If you are lucky enough to have a perfect set of teeth � stunningly straight and wonderfully white � then what reason is there not to draw attention to the fact? A killer smile is a winning trait and you should flash your smile with as much sparkle as you do pride.
Tooth gems
Tooth gems and stones are tiny little crystal-like objects commonly applied to an upper front tooth but can be applied wherever the individual desires. When you flash a smile wearing a tooth gem, the saying really does take on a very literal meaning. The gem will sparkle and really draw attention to your mouth, subtly accentuating a pearly white smile with great elegance.
Dental grills
Dental grills are a little more �bling� than subtle tooth gems. Grills are popular with American hip-hop stars and rappers and you will probably have seen someone on TV or in a magazine with this sort of tooth accessory. They are usually made of solid metal such as gold and can be encrusted with precious stones. They often cover an entire section of the front teeth but design, material and positioning is completely unique to the individual. The dental grill is certainly a dramatic addition to the mouth; but for some, with the style to pull it off, it is a fabulous accessory.
Milk teeth jewellery
Milk teeth jewellery is the one that most of us would find a little strange; a lovely sentimental memento but a little creepy even for the most liberal of us. Nevertheless, it is catching on in the same way that tooth gems and dental grills are. Milk teeth jewellery really is what it says on the can. When Kim Kovel had her first experience of playing tooth fairy she simply could not cast her son�s precious tooth in with the rubbish, so instead she cast it in gold and wore it around her neck. A little eccentric yes, but she now has an incredibly precious and somewhat attractive piece of jewellery. Naturally, it was not long before friends were asking her to make one for them; the idea caught on and the rest is history.
Tongue and lips piercings
Tongue and lip piercings are something that you will probably know much more about than tooth gems or milk teeth jewellery. However, if you are considering having one of these piercings it is important to learn all the facts as there are major safety concerns and oral health issues to take into account. It is not to say that these accessories are dangerous for your health but they do pose a risk and for this reason it is important for you to take this into consideration when making the decision to have a piercing.
