SAMMY Lou, a 37 year old mum of four, took the brave decision to film herself without her false teeth – and has been applauded for inspiring others
Giggling as she waved her dentures, Sam insisted that she prefers the look of her face with no teeth.
“I rock a bald mouth,” she said.
“Yes I have these things I have named Tammy that I put in my mouth to help me chew but I don’t have teeth.”
“I embrace my bald mouth, my mouth feels so good, it feels healthy.
“I do not care, it does not bother me.”
Sam had 23 teeth removed in February because they were so sensitive, and decided not to get implants.
She explained: “My teeth were sensitive and after several failed dental procedures continuing to fix only prolonged the inevitable.
“And they just hurt. So I said screw it and had ’em pulled. I simply couldn’t afford to try and keep ’em anymore.”
She added: “I have been embracing my bald beautiful mouth for 19 weeks now, since February 26 when I had 23 teeth extracted from my mouth.”
Now Sam only wears her set of false teeth at mealtimes.
“I do not have implants,” she said.
“I have no intention of getting implants.”
She told her 126,000 TikTok followers that she does not care if some people are freaked out by the way she looks: “Sorry some of y’all are freaked out over my mouth.
“I know teeth isn’t what people want to talk about but it’s a huge thing to so many people and so many people need to see that it’s perfectly OK to not have the ones you were born with.
“We replace so many failed body parts without judgment and teeth should be no different.
“If you are distraught over this decision because you are not getting implants, it’s OK I’m not getting implants and I’m OK with it.
I look like a little old lady and I love that, I love I everything about it.
“I look like a witch.
“When I was younger wanted to be a witch for Halloween every year because I just love witches.
“Now I officially look like a witch.
“Teeth help me if I want to eat or chew food, or I just eat without my teeth in which I don’t like to do.
“I like to put my teeth in before I eat.
“This is what I look like with them in,” she smiled, transforming her face entirely.
“Do I regret it? No. I love my new smile. I love my new teeth, they work well for me.
“I’ve had minimal pain and I’m just trucking right along,” added Sam with a giggle.
Hundreds of followers applauded her brave decision.
