Your smile is one of the first things that people notice about you, so having missing teeth can definitely deal a blow to your self-confidence! Fortunately, restorative treatment options such as dentures can effectively replace those lost pearly whites and restore your smile to its original and beautiful state. However, there is still an overwhelming stigma surrounding missing teeth and the methods used to replace them. But a TikTok influencer known as “Princess Glitterhead” is determined to set the record straight and challenge all of the negative ideas about needing dental restorations. Keep reading to learn more.
Princess Glitterhead’s Message
A young woman named Alicia, also known by her social media handle as Princess Glitterhead, has taken the world of social media by storm and has recently become “TikTok’s Toothless Princess.” After struggling with her own dental problems, including severe tooth loss, for several years, she finally decided to do something about it and opted to restore her beautiful smile with dentures. She has countless videos with millions of collective views, recalling and cataloging her emotional and time-consuming journey towards a new and improved smile. Her candidness about the physical and emotional aspects of the process is simply inspiring, and many have found a relatable sense of comfort through her videos.
Alicia’s message is simple, but important nonetheless; she’s hoping to normalize dentures as a beautiful tooth replacement option and open up a dialogue about feeling comfortable with your smile. Tooth loss isn’t an issue that affects just older people; in fact, roughly 170 million Americans struggle with the issue—and many of them are younger! This means that anyone’s self-esteem can be negatively impacted by missing teeth. But Alicia is able to use her platform to voice popular concerns about self-esteem with dentures and encourages her followers to do the same. This has turned into a trend we can witness today where people will post side-by-side pictures of themselves smiling, with and without their dentures.
The Benefits of Dentures
Whether you’re missing one, two, or several teeth, dentures are one of the most effective ways to replace them. Modern dentures are not nearly as bulky or cumbersome as you’d expect, and they’re always personalized to fit your smile perfectly. They’re also durable and built to withstand biting and chewing, so you don’t have to worry about chowing down at mealtime. Not to mention, your dentures will seamlessly blend in with your remaining natural teeth and provide you with a beautifully restored and complete smile! Simply put, dentures immensely improve the quality of life for patients with missing teeth and are among the best ways to restore a compromised smile.
If you have missing teeth and are ready to do something about it, don’t hesitate to take a page from Princess Glitterhead’s book and speak with your dentist about receiving dentures.
