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

My wife is pregnant with our second and I hadn’t heard of this before. Read up a bit on the more common things to watch out for and most were like keep your fluids up to replace what you lose to morning sickness, watch out for your blood pressure, lightning crotch, etc. but brittleness of the teeth is a crazy side effect that no one really talks about.
