How to Clean Dental Gold Grillz

If you are thinking of "How to Clean Dental Grillz", you are in the right place!

Grillz, also known as "fronts" or "grills," are removable, decorative covers for teeth, typically made in gold or platinum, and often feature diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, opals, jade and other gemstones. 

Removable grillz should be cleaned as often as possible, using warm water and jewelry cleaner. If you'd like, you can use a soft-bristled tooth brush to brush the inside of the grillz. A micro-fiber jewelry cloth can be used to polish the exterior of the gold grillz to give them a fresh shine. 

If you have permanent grillz, we recommend going to your dentist every few months for a professional teeth-cleaning to assure you don't have any severe dental issues from potential bacteria growing under your permanent teeth caps. 

If you don’t keep your grillz clean, they can hurt your mouth. Dirty grillz can lead to bad breath, tooth pain, and even gum disease. Proper cleaning also prevents tarnishing and damage to the grillz themselves. It preserves their appearance and value.

What You Need to Clean Grillz

Cleaning your grillz is very easy when you have the right tools. Most of these are already in your home. You don’t need anything fancy or expensive. But you do need to be gentle, because grillz can scratch if you're not careful.

Basic Tools You Need:

  •  A soft toothbrush – This helps clean small spots without scratching the metal.
  • Warm water – Not too hot! Just warm enough to loosen dirt and food bits.
  • Mild Soap or dishwashing liquid – Use one that has no bleach or strong chemicals.
  • Baking Soda
  • A soft towel or cloth – For drying your grillz after cleaning.
  • A cup or small container – To mix your water and soap and soak the grillz.

If you want a professional cleaning, we would recommend using a "jewelry ultrasonic cleaner" or taking your grillz to a professional jewelry cleaner so they can polish your grillz for you.
