Tooth gems are one of the hottest beauty trends right now! Both cosmetic and dental professionals are adding this fun, creative service to their offerings. Fern Whitening Supplies, the go-to leader in the teeth whitening and tooth gem industry across North America, is here to break down everything you need to know.
What’s a Tooth Gem?
Think of a tooth gem as jewelry for your smile—whether it’s a crystal or a gold charm, it’s applied to the front of your tooth. The process is similar to how orthodontic brackets are placed, and the results can last anywhere from a couple of days to over 6 months, depending on the technique and how well your client takes care of it.
How Do I Become a Technician?
Here’s the good news: tooth gems don’t require a license from any governing board. That said, there are a few things to keep in mind:
- Insurance Coverage: Many insurance policies for teeth whitening will also cover tooth gems. Most policies will ask for either a dental diploma or a tooth gem certification to qualify.
- Health & Safety Compliance: You’ll need to follow your local public health guidelines to make sure you’re meeting infection control and client safety standards.
- If you have any concerns in your local area, have a lawyer look up what is deemed practicing dentistry in your state for full clarity.
How Can I Learn the Process?
There are plenty of ways to get trained!
- For Cosmetic Professionals: Online training programs specifically for tooth gems are available and easy to follow.
- For Dental Professionals: If you’ve worked with orthodontic brackets, you’re already ahead of the game—the process is almost identical!

How Do Clients Remove Tooth Gems?
Tooth gems should always be removed by a licensed dental professional. If you’re a cosmetic technician, make sure your clients know ahead of time that they’ll need to see a local dentist for removal—and that the removal fee isn’t part of your application price.
