If anyone is gonna go to the more sensible option, your friends are getting tattoos and you think, I'll just get a tooth gem that's less permanent. This is my tooth gem from July last year. The guy told me it would last three weeks to a month. This is from July 2025. I'm not complaining because I love it. My dentist on the other hand, I'm sure it's not very happy. And it's only tiny. Like a lot of people don't notice it until they're like, sat on that side. But yeah, it's still here a year later and just, as context, I'm like the craziest toothbrush of all time. So yeah, it's not gone anywhere.
