Grillz Maintenance

Easiest way to clean your gold/silver/platinum caps

Cleaning your caps/ Grillz is essential for maintaining their longevity and preventing tarnishing. You can use a soft /medium bristle brush with toothpaste to gently clean the surface caps. Please rinse your caps with clean water before putting them in your mouth. We recommend using this method every day before your wear your caps.

Precious metals may requires periodic polishing to keep them shining, purchase one of our jewellers cloths to keep your pieces looking fresh. It is impregnated with jewellers rouge to help remove tarnishing and scratches without harming precious metals.

You can also send your caps to us and we can restore them for a small fee. This will have your caps looking brand-new again.

Daily use

Please avoid eating and sleeping with your caps in, you should pay more attention to brushing and flossing to prevent potential problems. Food and other debris may become trapped between the teeth and the cap allowing bacteria to collect and produce acids. The acids can cause tooth decay and harm gum tissue. Bacteria may also contribute to bad breath. If you avoid cleaning your caps there is a chance for the cap/s to irritate the surrounding oral tissue and wear away the enamel around the opposing tooth.

Smoking is not recommended at any time when wearing Grillz and should be avoided. Cigarettes contain harmful toxins that can easily coat the surface of your caps making it resemble copper. Getting a higher carat gold does not stop your caps from changing colour, however it takes longer to tarnish which will have your caps shinning for a longer period.

To prevent problems, try and limit the amount of time spent wearing removable caps. If you already wear a cap, you should remove it before eating. It should be cleaned daily to remove bacteria and food debris. Only use jewellery cleaners if it is essential because they can be dangerous to ingest.

Fitment

Fixadent can be used to secure caps in the rare case of a loose fit.

If your caps become loose for some reason, you can easily adjust the fitment to your teeth by taking the cap off the mould/ teeth and your index finger and thumb to squeeze the caps to the correct size then putting it back into your mouth. If the metal is too thick to squeeze, please contact us we will guide you on how to adjust the fitment right.
