Before you buy
Who it's for, and who it isn't
It's for you if
- You fit your own gems and the resin did not hold: the tooth was probably not dry enough
- You want to work cleanly, with no saliva on the enamel while fitting
- You already have a resin with a published composition and a wax pen: isolation is what is missing
Skip it if
- You are looking for something to bond with: resin is not included
- For a child: a cotton roll can be swallowed or inhaled
- You are under 18, or have damaged or sensitive teeth, a crown, a veneer or a brace: tooth gems are not for you
In detail
Everything about this product
Resin does not hold well on a wet tooth. Before fitting a tooth gem, the tooth has to be dried and kept from getting wet again while you work: that is what these cotton rolls do, the same ones slipped under the lip at the dentist’s.
What you get
- 50, 100 or 200 highly absorbent disposable cotton rolls
- One or two rolls are enough for one application
- Single use: a roll is never reused
How to use them
Brush and rinse the tooth, then slip a roll between the lip and the gum, level with the tooth to decorate. Dry the tooth, place the crystal following your resin’s instructions, then remove the roll as soon as you are done; if it sticks to the gum, moisten it with a little water first.
What they do not do
This tool does not bond anything on its own. Bonding resin not included: use a cosmetic tooth-gem resin whose manufacturer publishes its composition, or have it fitted at a beauty salon or by your dentist.
Never leave a roll in the mouth unattended and keep the bag out of children’s reach. Shipped by our logistics partner, tracked delivery in 7 to 12 working days. Free delivery in France from €10, 30-day returns.

What goes with it
Frequently asked questions
What is a cotton roll for with a tooth gem?
To keep the tooth dry. Resin bonds poorly to wet enamel: slipped between lip and gum, the roll soaks up saliva while you dry the tooth, place the crystal and cure the resin.
How many per application?
One or two, depending on how much saliva you produce; change it if it gets soaked before you finish. A bag of 50 therefore covers many applications; 100 and 200 are for frequent use or for several people.
The roll sticks to my gum, what should I do?
Very dry cotton can stick to the soft tissue. Moisten it with a little water, wait a few seconds, then remove it gently without yanking. Never leave it in the mouth after fitting.
What precautions apply to tooth gems?
Adults only, on healthy teeth, never on a crown, a veneer or a brace. Wear is temporary, 1 to 4 weeks. Do not swallow it; never use a metal object to remove it, and have any residue taken off by your dentist. It is a decorative item with no medical purpose.
How long is delivery?
The cotton rolls are shipped by our logistics partner: allow 7 to 12 working days, tracked parcel. Free delivery in France from €10, and returns accepted for 30 days.
