I have voluntarily elected to undergo the tooth gem application procedure after the
nature and purpose of this treatment has been explained to me.
I understand and acknowledge that there are risks involved with the treatment I will be
receiving. Although it is impossible to list every potential risk and complication, I have been informed of possible benefits, risks, and complications, and I have had the opportunity to ask questions regarding these risks and other possible complications
I understand that tooth gems must be placed on a real and flat tooth.
I understand that a tooth that is a false, crowned, or capped is not a good candidate for a tooth gem because the glue will not adhere to a false tooth.
I understand that the tooth gem must be placed high on the tooth, or in the center,
because the low part of the tooth is what sinks into food when biting.
I understand that once the tooth gem is adhered, there may be some dental adhesive surrounding the tooth gem on the tooth. I understand that this will wear off within a couple of weeks from normal brushing and eating.
I understand that tooth gems can last between four months to a year and are not meant to be permanent.
I understand that I should not try to remove my tooth gem myself and should have it professionally removed by a dental professional.
I understand that when my tooth gem falls off naturally, there may still be residual
adhesive left on my tooth.
I understand that if I get my teeth whitened or use whitening strips, the area under my tooth gem will not receive the whitening treatment while the tooth ger is on.
I understand that any aftercare of the tooth gem will be done by my dental professional.
I have, to the best of my knowledge, given an accurate account of my medical history, including all known allergies or prescription drugs or products I am currently ingesting or using
topically.
