tooth gems

Smile jewelry pieces

Tooth gems are small decorative pieces—crystals, gems, or precious metals—attached to the surface of teeth as cosmetic adornment.

Applied with dental adhesive, they're a form of temporary body modification popular in fashion and celebrity culture: She got a tiny diamond tooth gem for the music video.

The trend periodically resurfaces from its 1990s heyday.
