Virginia Fonseca tooth gem dental trend

Overview

Digital influencer Virginia Fonseca debuted a personalized dental accessory featuring a diamond shaped like the letter ‘V’. The procedure was performed by dentist Rildo Lasmar in Goiás using a technique intended to preserve tooth enamel.

Following the debut, dental specialists have highlighted the potential risks associated with the ‘tooth gems’ trend. Professionals emphasize that the procedure should be adhesive-based to avoid drilling into healthy enamel. Experts warn that improper technique or inadequate hygiene can lead to plaque, tartar, and food accumulation, which may cause inflammation, stains, and cavities.

To mitigate these risks, dentists recommend that the procedure be performed by qualified professionals on healthy teeth and that patients maintain rigorous oral hygiene.
