Grillz has become a popular fashion statement, especially in the world of hip-hop, where artists like Lil Wayne, Trippie Redd, and Cardi B have made them iconic. Whether you wear your grillz as a permanent fixture or as a removable dental bling, keeping them clean is essential. Like any piece of jewelry, grillz are prone to build up from food, drinks, and natural oils from your mouth, which can dull their shine and even cause bacteria to build up if left unchecked.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through easy steps to clean your grillz at home, so you can keep them looking fresh and protect your teeth in the process.

What Happens If You Don't Clean Your Grillz

If you don’t clean your grillz regularly, several issues can arise:Bacteria and germ build-up
Food particles, saliva, and bacteria can accumulate on grillz, leading to an unhygienic situation. Over time, this build-up can result in oral infections, bad breath, and other dental issues.

Discoloration
Grillz can develop stains or discoloration if they are not cleaned properly. This can be particularly noticeable if they come into contact with colorful foods or beverages.

Damage to the material
Regular cleaning helps prevent the deterioration of the metal. If grillz are not maintained, they may become dull, scratched, or damaged, compromising their appearance and fit.

Unpleasant odor
Grillz can retain odors from food or beverages consumed while wearing them. If not cleaned, this can lead to unpleasant smells, which can be unappealing to both the wearer and those around them.

Tips For Maintaining Your Grillz 

Remove grillz before eating.
Food particles can easily get trapped between your teeth and grillz, increasing the risk of plaque buildup. Removing them before meals helps avoid this problem.

Avoid wearing grillz for long periods.
To give your gums and teeth a break, remove your grillz when you're not in public. This also prevents overexposure to bacteria.

Storing grillz.
When not wearing them, store your grillz in a clean, dry container. Gold or diamond grills are best stored in a box lined with soft material to prevent scratches.

Avoid wearing while smoking.
Cigarette tar and any other substances will stain the grill over time and affect the color.

Frequently A&Q

There are gemstones on grillz, what should I pay attention to when cleaning?
If your grillz features diamonds, cubic zirconia, or other gemstones, you’ll need to take extra care. These types of grillz can still be cleaned with mild soap and a soft toothbrush, but be especially careful when scrubbing around the gemstones to avoid loosening them. Avoid submerging the grillz in any chemical cleaners, as this can damage both the metal and stones.

Can I use an ultrasonic machine to clean my grillz?
Yes. But it's important to know the material and construction of your grillz before using it. Pure gold and platinum grillz can benefit from ultrasonic cleaning, while grillz with gemstones, plating, or custom designs should be cleaned using more traditional methods.
