KATIE Price has revealed she’s lost another tooth, but is blaming it on her new bad habit.
Last month, 45-year-old Katie left fans horrified after one of her veneers fell out during a TikTok live stream – exposing her shaved down ‘peg’ below.
The former glamour model has now claimed the problem was caused by her love of vaping, which she took up “as a new social thing”.
Katie, who has never smoked, vowed to cut the vice out of her life while speaking to her half-sister Sophie, 33, on The Katie Price Show podcast.
She said, “You know my tooth came out. I swear it’s the vape because I put it here and it’s on the tooth that come out, so I wondered if it’s that what made my tooth loose.”
Sophie replied, “Yes, you must stop vaping! My argument is our mum does have a lung condition and you’re vaping.”
But Katie hit back: “I know. Can I say something? I don’t go out, I hardly ever, ever drink. I don’t take drugs. The only outlet I get is when I have a s*** on the toilet, unless the dog or a kid comes in to that.
“So for me to sit in a room and just have a little puff on a vape. Give me a break! It’s not my fault. It’s because people are around me.
“I’ve got less and less on it because I don’t really know what’s in it. It’s all synthetic and no one knows the damage to these youngsters when they get older.
“And in my head, I’m thinking, ‘Well I’m older anyway, on the verge of popping off.’ I’m nearly half a century in five years.
“But no, I am going to stop it because I don’t know why I do it. It’s this new social thing where everyone vapes. And I’m not normally a follower, I’m normally a leader.”
Katie’s had numerous issues with ‘Turkey teeth’ over the years.
Back in 2020 she needed to get two veneers replaced after they fell out of her mouth.
At the time she revealed her shaved down teeth – leaving her followers gobsmacked.
She said at the time: “I look like something out of James Bond. The man with metal teeth.”
Three years prior to that her mouth was left full of ulcers after she had temporary veneers put in as part of a huge teeth overhaul.
Katie joked at the time that the procedure is the first cosmetic surgery she’s actually needed – as she smashed her teeth in a childhood skateboarding accident.
Veneers are a treatment that sees tooth-coloured shells attached to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance.
A dentist previously warned that Katie could end up with more complications down the line.
Dr Nilesh R. Parmar told The Mirror: “Several re-dos of veneers and now crowns over the years would have left [Katie] with little or no tooth tissue remaining.
“Remember each time veneers or crowns are re-done we have to remove more tooth tissue. As this gets closer and closer to the nerve, these teeth can need root canal work further reducing their lifespan.”
