“ Grillz, grills, or fronts are decorative covers made of precious metals encrusted with jewels. They are made to snap over your teeth as a form of jewelry. They are removable decorative ensembles; however, others have chosen to keep them on permanently, getting their teeth altered.
Let’s dig into thehistory ofthis Grillz that people have been on to for some time now.
Going back to 800 BC – 200 BC in ancient Italy where a powerful and wealthy civilization called the Etruscan civilization where the women were thought to wear what we know now as Grillz. They would also take and replace their two front teeth with a gold band appliance similar to a dental bridge.
It was in the 1980s that hip-hop artists started to use them as jewelry. It is the new era of gold teeth. It was a unique and artful style that people loved. From 2005-2012 more celebrities were seen following this style. Kanye West opts for the permanent route of trimming his lower teeth and adding in the bling. Others, like Rihanna, chose removable Grillz we saw her use in her “You Da One” music video in 2011. Each with their versions adds to its style to the creative form of Grillz that we see today.
Let’s get into the dos and don’ts when you have Grillz. Let’s get into the do’s and don’ts when you have Grillz.
Listed below are the things you should note if you want to preserve the shine of your Grillz.
1. Store them in a clean and dry place when you aren’t wearing them.
Unlike permanent gold teeth that others prefer, Grillz is not permanent. So, when you don’t wear them, you should store them properly like any other jewelry you own. The material of your Grillz can scratch or get chipped into different surfaces of your storage area. So, if you place them anywhere convenient for you, it wouldn’t be your safest option.
Put this dry and clean in ajewelry box like your other jewelry or a basic denture or retainer case, and put an anti-tarnishing strip in your container with your Grillz. It will help tarnish your loved gold Grillz.
2. Make sure your mouth is clean before putting them on.
It may seem like a simple step, but it is vital that your mouth be clean and rinsed before putting on your Grillz. Food debris can build up inside/underneath your Grillz. It puts your Grillz and teeth at risk of serious dental problems like bad breath, gum disease, enamel erosion, and weak gums that loosen your tooth.
3. Wash them properly.
Considering that you put this inside your mouth, storing and cleaning them would naturally be a bit more tedious compared to how you would do your other jewelry. If you take this for granted, expect dental issues in the future. Not going the extra mile to clean them properly can expose you to future potential gum disease and cavities. Remember, gold naturally tarnishes over time. This process happens much quicker with Grillz than with any other jewelry type because acids and bacteria live in your mouth and teeth. For this reason, oral care is essential to keep your Grillz shining. Go, and pair them with other jewelry you can get atGold Presidents to perfect your holiday looks!
