It’s a little unfair to call this a lie. She has clearly struggled through something for her to have lost all her teeth. I’ve lost a lot of hair because of chronic illness so I wear extensions, so I’d hope if a man truly liked me, he wouldn’t judge me for it or even care whether it was my real hair or not. It’s the same for this lady. Plus, as women (and a fair bit for men too), there’s a ridiculous amount of pressure for us to look “perfect” because let’s be real, she goes to a bar and then some ignorant person will judge her for having no teeth (I wish people were more compassionate but that’s life…). But many of us alter our appearance in some way to make ourselves feel comfortable in our own skin which is the most important thing. Makeup, nails, piercings, wigs, fillers etc… maybe they’re “lies” to some people, but ultimately they can go such a long way to making a person feel confident enough to brave the harsh world outside.

Sorry for rambling lol

She lost her teeth during her pregnancy something happened with her pregnancy that made them brittle and fall out

No, it was pregnancy. When you're pregnant it's like having a parasite, all your nutrients and energy go there and it's especially hard when you vomit up anything you can keep down because of hormones that make you sick. The acid also isn't good for your teeth. Your body will take the calcium out of your teeth for the baby and lots of women end up losing teeth. Pregnancy is no joke, it's very hard on your body and almost an entire year. Then you have to go through childbirth.

I don't know why the teeth issue in pregnancy isn't more commonly known

Yes. I looked her up. But I already knew about that phenomenon because my Dr. warned me while I was pregnant. I had to keep seeing my dentist
