Baby teeth bling: Kim Kardashian's 7yo son Saint West shows off his tooth gems

The young trendsetter was seen flashing Louis Vuitton branded tooth gems on his mum's Instagram stories this week. So, could this be a new trend for kids and is it safe?

Parents might recall when Kim Kardashian's seven-year-old son, Saint, asked for Robux instead of money from the tooth fairy earlier this year. 

His request was something many parents could relate to and gave his mum a good laugh. So not only did she end up giving him the Robux voucher as requested, but she also left some cash by his bed as well.

Fast forward to this week and it seems that Saint's baby teeth have taken on an extravagant new value as the young trendsetter has been seen sporting a pair of Louis Vuitton tooth gems.

The upgrade in dental bling may mean that the going rate for his baby teeth has skyrocketed. We hope the Tooth Fairy is prepared to cough up an even bigger Robux voucher soon!

Seven-year-old Saint flaunts sparkly tooth gems

On Tuesday, Kardashian shared an Instagram story of Saint flashing a pair of sparkly tooth gems that were shaped like the Louis Vuitton logo. 

As well as the dazzling gems on his two front teeth, he also wore a chunky gold necklace with diamonds around his neck that read 'Saint'. 

It appears that the jewellery was sent to the famous mum-and-son duo by the brand, ahead of the Louis Vuitton Men fashion show in Paris. 

Kardashian shared a snap of some of the other lavish gifts she received, including LV branded chocolates, a fluffy fanny pack, a toiletries bag and a handwritten invitation. 

Later that night, Kardashian attended the runway but it looks like she left Saint and his tooth gems at home!

What are tooth gems and are they safe for kids?

Tooth gems are a semi-permanent accessory that are applied to the surface of teeth with professional adhesive. 

According to a Gold Coast dentist that specialises in tooth gems, House of Mouth, there's no "cutting or drilling" required and "your choice of jewellery can be easily applied, preventing damage to your teeth." Gems can include crystals, diamonds or other precious stones. 

So, are they safe for kids? Well, as with all cosmetic procedures, it's important to do your own research and chat with your dentist before making a decision.

While tooth gems are generally considered safe when applied by a professional, there are some considerations to keep in mind.

Firstly, is your child old enough to take proper care of their gems and maintain good teeth hygiene?

It's also crucial that your child's oral health is in good condition before applying the gems. 

Secondly, the child should be over the age of three, as toddlers may accidentally swallow them if a gem comes loose. 

Lastly, it's important to follow the recommended duration for wearing gems and have them professionally removed to avoid potential complications.
