#GMA #Addiction #DentalImplants
She looks like a whole different person with her new teeth but more importantly she's making better choices in her life now.
Yh she looked different with d teeth
Probably because her hair is actually brushed, and she has different set of clothes on, and looks overall actually presentable lol.
@Silas Bellino what does that mean?
@Silas Bellino with teeth, your cheeks are more full. Without teeth, nothing is being filled in the gaps that your cheeks have, that’s why before she had the implant she looked so thin(she is but I’m talking about the face) and old but afterwards her face looks younger and more full.
You dont know that
She should sue the the stupid dentist that pulled all her teeth out like that.
@Lucci Jay r i think she explained that the dentist made a false accusation that she needed her teeth removed, so yeah, it was unnecessary
I had the same thing happen to me the dentist removed all my back teeth because I had bulimia and the acid was ruining my teeth. It got really hard to brush my teeth without my gums bleeding so I stopped altogether now I only have 8 incomplete shattered blackening teeth, it's honestly depressing because you look way older without teeth and I seriously thought about killing myself over it. Idk just a rant I really feel happy for her.
A girl i worked with got all hers yanked but postponed the rest. She almost died. Happened to my dad too after getting dentures. Doctors seem to have hard time curing infections from teeth and dentists wanna pull too many. "Heard it from the horses mouth." Teeth limit lifespan.
@@ideal2334 you should start a go fund me account for that. Pray everything goes well and don’t give up🙏
@@ideal2334 I’m glad you’re still here today. Hope you’re better than before.
This is why dental care should be affordable for everyone. It's so sad how people can loose their teeth forever
@@YourName-jm7lz shut up bro. We’re trynna advocate for everyone to have care. Even idiots like you.
Most of us can't afford it because the corrupt government has taxed us into poverty
@@scottparsons2031 Well... The government COULD stop using our tax dollars to give to other countries and developing frivolous/useless things...
Think of how many people $6.9 million would help... Same amount the Covid stimulus bill allocated for developing a "smart toilet." 🤦
People who don't work don't deserve shit
@@Buckle-Bucky So kids don't deserve anything? As for adults some of them are in bad situations some have no car, house, because they grew up in a bad environment or were neglected by their family. It's hard to get a job with no house or car because without a house you're more prone to getting robbed and without a car you can't get to work or can't get there on time and the boss won't care about your situation they'll just replace the person.
That Dentist is an angel. He gave her more than teeth..He gave her a fighting chance at a decent life. Many Blessings for that Dentist.
Well said
@@joannenoon8017 but how she lost her teet
@@ironman0181 does it matter
They are few and far apart Must be a great guy!!!
Beautifully put.
when she said her 2 year old was scared of her I ugly cried for her....
weak ass
@@randalsharayri2872 no i didn't are you dumb?
@@dougow stupidass
Me too! I was bawling 😭 poor woman, pray that her life will get better after this
@@dougow go play in traffic
It's sad because one dentist scared her for life by removing teeth that could be saved. So glad she found a good dentist to fix the damage that was done.
Its hard to trust anyone now adays.
Even doctors. Its so sad. :(
I had one permanently damage one of my molars and I still can't chew very well on my right side. Laterwords are found out she no longer works there.
@@marylinda I had the same thing happen. A dentist pulled a tooth in my smile line that my new dentist would have easily fixed. Spent 5 years rebuilding the damage one dentist and his pockets did.
Nah it's a scam. Lots of people in my country had this done back in the 80's. Our teeth has gaps for a reason. When a tooth has a problem you fix only 1 or pull only 1.
How did she afford 20000???
When she said her 2 yr old was her best friend, I felt that.
I know this feeling. Lost my teeth to cancer. But It took my 6 months to get my denture made through Medicaid. A 30 yr old here with no teeth and at first I was mad it took so long but I actually learned how to speak quite well with out teeth. That Instant crying when you first see your smile is beyond emotional
Does it hurt to lose all the teeth. I want a denture. My teeth is sensitive. Will my gum hurt ! I am getting all my teeth removed too
I started tearing up when she said, “And that’s my best friend.”
Me too, that's super sad.
@@magelicious1822 alrighty.. okay
Same here!
@@magelicious1822 what are you? 12? you don’t know the pain that this poor lady went through, you heartless asshole.
Still choked up after hearing that.
So cruel that her prior dentist took all her teeth out when some were fixable 🥺
Probably was a blessing in disguise. Look at her now. God is amazing.
@Willow Cat God is amazing all the time. I definitely pray for people like her. I believe in change and redemption.
they harvest body parts
@@voidremoved what in the world!? Probably not the time or place 😏
Sometimes we fall to get back up and learn from our experiences.
Everyone deserves a second chance, and she got hers. Keep Smiling
It's crazy how much of a difference teeth changes your appearance
some people just don't understand how dark and lonely it gets and they just judge people hard af....like they're just squeaky clean....
I hope u turn to Jesus
I agree!
AGREE !!
, WE ARE NOONE TO JUDGE.
NOONE .
WE ALL DO SHIT WE AINT PROUD OF . GOOD THING SHE CLEANED UP . NOW WHAT R U DOING TO BETTER YOUR LIFE ?? PPL NEED TO STOP JUDGING!! .
I understand
@@jesusislordandking6923 Not you again! Hahahah! Jesus is not the answer to everything. There are other spiritual guides out there. Just sayin! 😆
the bigger story here is the dentist that pulled all of her teeth. I wish news stations would do more undercover work on shady dentists. I once had a dentist lie and tell me I needed a root canal when I had nothing wrong with my tooth. It’s scary how many liars there are out there taking advantage.
I agree with you but new stations no longer do investigative reporting. Instead, all they talk about is twitter and politics.
I got told I needed a crown on an upper back tooth ...the only thing was there was no tooth below it and it would eventually migrate down or need pulled. I called them out on their bullshit when I went to pay for the dental checkup and they tried giving me a breakdown and costs of a root canal I didn't agree to. I said NO I'm getting it pulled
Medicaid Dr pull don't fix teeth.
For real, in chinatown some dentist pulled the wrong tooth out! Left the bad one and pulled a healthy one, and the patient couldn't speak good English so he just said oh, well. So sad
@ Sara Bement. We are talking about saving teeth here. Have you considered that the missing tooth could be replaced to prevent the tooth you wanted pulled from supererrupting? This should have been explained if there were a possibility. Also and I didn’t see your tooth but typically upper teeth don’t usually line up directly with the lower teeth so oftentimes there is still contact with another tooth. Was the tooth you had drifting down into the space below? If not, you probably had enough contact that it wouldn’t have drift much Something to consider.
Wow, she was completely transformed. She didn't look like the same person after the dental work was completed. I'm sure she will get her confidence back. That dentist did a fantastic job and should be commended.
Her smile lights up the room now. A truly life changing act of kindness.
She’s gorgeous and looks like a million bucks with that smile! I wish her so much luck on her recovery journey. She seems like such a genuine person who just went down a wrong path.
She needs to take legal action against the repulsive excuse of a human being and garbage of a dentist, who caused her all that trauma. She looks so beautiful, now. Congratulations to the doctors. They did a phenomenal job.
its unlikely. It would open a floodgate and most dentists would be sued. Most dentists have done unneeded work to people, especially drilling young children and young adults
is why a lot of dentists kill themselves
Doesn't getting teeth pulled cost a lot of money? How does a dentist pull out a bunch of teeth for someone who is a drug addiction but...she didn't have money for dental implants ? I feel it might have been her stupidity for not researching dental procedures.
They make you sign a waiver before pulling your teeth, so you have no legal options.
Why are dentists so pull-happy?? They ruined my grandma's teeth said she needed to have them removed, turns out they didn't.
I can’t even watch. My 33 year old son has only a couple of teeth left. He hasn’t smiled in years. He needs to have a couple of more teeth pulled and then get fitted for dentures. He has delayed finishing the job. He had a couple of complications the last time his teeth were pulled. He rarely leaves his room. I’m beyond heartbroken
I'm sorry to hear that about your son. I hope the situation has improved since you posted this comment.
I live in Oregon and will do anything for teeth. My only option for my last 14 teeth is to have them pulled. Why?? For one, I am 58 and having no coverage for dental many years now along with life brought me here. Second, I am on SSDI and there is no dental and pulling them is free because I have a low income and I am caring for an adult son with a disability on my disability income. I simply can't pull the money together at all. I can't even pay for presc., copays and ins. premiums either. But I am not complaining. It is a difficult issue for so many and I am just hoping I can find some provision and guidance through compassionate people and the grace of god. Thank you for reading this and have a blessed day!! I am very happy for this deserving young lady!!
My mother drilled in me as a child "TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEETH. YOU ONLY HAVE ONE SHOT" because as a little child I didn't always feel like brushing my teeth at night. But I really obeyed that advice. I am fanatic about my dental health. Bad teeth can not only kill you but as with this young lady the whole structure of her face changed with her new teeth. She no longer looked aged. I am happy she was able to kick her addiction and now has a bright smile to display it. My first meal, if I were her, would be some buttery corn on the cobb 😋!
😊😊😊!
Great lesson! My mom emphasized brushing too. So glad we had good moms!
Im a teenager right now, my when I was little my mom would always get mad at me for not brushing my teeth because I thought it was a waste of time and hated it. I learned the lesson the HARD WAY so always listen cause you wont regret it when you grow up
My friend died from oral surgery and my sister got a bad infection that nearly killed her. Yet dental work costs so much and getting financial help to fix your teeth is nearly non existent.
Alot of the time bad teeth can be caused by depression, eating disorder or other condition that is out of someone's control. We need more dental assistance in my country atleast
Same. As a dentist, I stick with “best dentistry is no dentistry”
One dentist tried to do this to my brother. They said he had to have four teeth removed. He went to another dentist and didn’t need to.
I have some friends in the dental field and after talking to them I've realized 2 things
1. Dentists are either horrible/corrupt/greedy/dishonest or absolutely wonderful at their craft and towards their patients and staff
2. Some dentists take a "wait and see" approach, qwhile others see one little problem and want to rip your whole mouth out.
Honestly I've heard enough horror stories regarding dentists that I say always get a second opinion unless you already trust and know your dentist well
@@verov9234 🎯🙌🏾💯
@@verov9234 I had one dentist tell me I had five cavities and two others telling me I had none at all. The first dentist was trying to make money off of me. Basically a scammer. How many people did he do that to who just believed him and had unnecessary work done? Horrible. These are the same people who swear oil pulling has no benefits for the teeth.
@William Mines There are bad people in every profession. If someone recommend you get all your teeth removed, get a second opinion. It's no different than if one mechanic failed your car inspection. You'd get a second opinion.
Our childhood dentist said my brother need EIGHT fillings so my parents scrimped and saved to pay for it - when we switched dentists as adults, the new dentist said he likely never had issues in any of his teeth and that our old dentist was scamming us for TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars in unnecessary procedures.
Take a gaze at her reaction right after the dentist puts her new teeth in, it's just priceless ❤️
Pull the license of the dentist who pulled the teeth. Give a medal (and at least a mention!) to the dentist who corrected it. She looks like a model now and her gratefulness made her even prettier.
Some dentists are soooo shady and people don't realize it until it's too late. We're just taught to trust all information from dentists and medical professionals. I'm so happy she was able to get help and is recovered. What a journey 😢😭😭
@Willow Cat wow I didn't know that, that's terrible
@ Willow Cat True some oral cancers are due to genetics but most are due to one of three things: smoking, excessive alcohol intake and/or HPV infection. This is not a judgement but a reminder that people have more control when it comes to preventing oral cancers than most other types of cancer. You are correct that healthcare providers should not judge but help the patient through recovery and help the patient avoid smoking and drinking to avoid recurrence of the cancer
Not me bit i ask ?s and do whts right for me and my fknlife
It's amazing how not having teeth can "age" someone. She legit went from looking age 45 to 25...thats insane. I'm so happy for her...wish we could see her entire reaction though
1:10😭💛
That's the truth too. She went from looking rough to beautiful.
ruclips.net/video/n0UWC5rmWkE/видео.html
There is a full video on dentist website
Yeah she Look's beautiful after, actually very attractive lady
She was clearly attractive before she fell into addiction. She is living proof of what addiction can do to someone.
Apparently her brother died from cancer and she thought it was her fault, so she turned to drugs and other bad stuff out of guilt and depression.
@@dragondude9637 it really stinks
@CrabApples Bodaciously Bitter Fruit's disappointed it turned out that way. I wouldn't have listened to them if they are going to tear my teeth out of my mouth. I'd have gotten consultations elsewhere to see who else could make it work.
My eyes are sweating...
Profusely...
Bless her heart. There should be more programs to help people like her.
I believe every one deserves a second chance in life
Love can be the cure for many sinful actions one do to themselves.
People deserve as many chances as they need.
Not everyone cuz there's really some evil ppl out there.
Not only second you can make milion mistake it's a life don't judge people don't kill don't still this is important rest is simply life you can fail
How many chances shou Curious George get?
She's an absolutely gorgeous woman and I am so happy that she got her smile back. God bless her.
Holy crap! The absolute difference that just the teeth can make in the structure of someone’s mouth. She looks like a whole new person, and she’s gorgeous with her new pearly whites. Good for her!
She looks like a completely different person. I am so thankful for her and the Dentist who helped her.
One thing I learned being an Esthetician...is your teeth create the structure for your face and she is utterly beautiful... 😍 Blessings to her 🙏🏽
I’m bawling my eyes out with her, she’s a stranger but I have so much love for you. Keep doing good and you’re so strong. Wish you the best.
as a long time addict I hope you keep up the great work and spend your time with your best friend. keeping smiling
ALMOST made me cry
I had a straight face.
I literally cried😭
This did make me cry!
I was so sad at the beginning for her, &then so happy for her at the end!! Asshole dentist for taking out all her teeth&ruining her life, he should be held accountable &loose his practice,but she should have gotten a second opinion on such a drastic decision!She really looks gr8 now&I'm happy for her!
Thank you for helping her and not judging her.We all need to walk insomeone elses shoes.That beautiful smile willchange her life and her daughters life. God bless and watch over all.🙏❤
Amen 🙏❤️!!!
aww, i’m so happy she isn’t in that situation again! she looks beautiful!💗
This is amazing and heartfelt story. I can't believe the previous dentist did that to her. She's beautiful inside and out! I'm so proud of her
She's so pretty w/ her new teeth and still so young. Her reaction in the mirror is the pure joy of pain melting away. I truly hope she never returns to that dark place and lives a fulfilled life raising that baby.
She made me cry when she smiled and saw her teeth. God bless her heart!
She is precious.... she looks gorgeous. God-bless her and her family.
Ohw, I cried. I'm light hearted.
I wish she evolves and into a Conscious being ❤️
Thats like a 300,000 worth of a job, big ups to the ppl that helped, when she said her own daughter is her best freind, that hit hard. I hope she lives her life happy.
the fact that it would have been that much is honest to fucking god criminal.
Yeah, thats absolutely not a 300,000 dollar job. Full upper and lower implants are on average 30,000. This girl already had all of her teeth removed with healed gums, so only the drilling, tapping, creating implants was needed. Likely a 20-30k job if you don't go to a rip-off-artist
@@EnduroTainment where? What city? What staTe
@@Theoneandonlyearthhuman Do some research. Just not along the West Coast or New York. There are ample practices that do good work I'm sure. Given that the procedure can usually be done in one visit, it's still ridiculously overpriced. The cost should be no more than 10k IF it were not so profit oriented. Same thing with Lasik or hair transplants. These elective surgeries tend to be WAY overpriced.
The orthodontist enhanced Brittany's natural beauty God bless them. 🙏🏻
💯
I’m so happy for her and her kid now. This kind of kindness makes me so happy. We need more kindness like this on this earth.
She’s so beautiful either way with or without teeth!
Drug addition is a horrible, lonely thing.
I’m rooting for her and anyone else struggling with drug use!
Yea, and it’s even more sad that society treats them as garbage!
Her brothers death led to her addiction.
Apparently she thought she accidently killed him when really he died from cancer.
She was so guilty that she fell into the wrong crowd and took drugs.
i pray that she found her inner peace and she can enjoy good meals with the baby girl :) much love on their way
Amen
I was severely abused my whole childhood and was never taught how to take care of myself or brush my teeth or anything. When I was older and learned about it, by that point my teeth were already irreversibly damaged. I was often bullied about it though all my years of school. I've been so depressed about it I never smile and I'm scared to talk to people cause they might see my teeth or smell my bad breath. Honestly I often consider suicide as my only solution to my dental issues because I don't have dental insurance and getting my whole mouth fixed would cost me more than I can probably ever afford. I'm happy for this woman though, I can't imagine how it must feel to be able to smile and not instantly have happiness replaced with the fear of someone seeing your disgusting teeth.
Start saving. God wants to restore everything back to you including your teeth/smile. Don't give up!!!
Look into “oil pulling”. It’s very effective in maintaining dental health.
Can you get medicaid? At least you'll be able to get some sort of care. That's what I'm trying now, good luck.
I love doing implant denture cases ! We’re almost finished a case for a great guy to our office and he thanks us all the time !
I saw the original post. She gets up and just gives the dentist the biggest hug. Super touching
It’s crazy how important all your parts are. I’m so pissed at the dentist office who pulled all her teeth out. What a fucking shame. But they dentist who helped her did such an amazing job. She looks beautiful
I would love to see a follow up video of how she’s doing being that they blessed her with what was taken from her
It’s amazing what teeth can do to your whole facial features. Bless her heart. I’m so glad she got her smile back!!!!!
Its very easy to go to an extremely dark place after something like that. After losing my brother some years back I went to such a dark place i thought I never was gonna be found. So happy to see her smiling and getting her life going!
this made me cry❤ and to the dentist who helped her thankyou for giving her a chance and not judging her past.. people who really changed for the best should be given a chance... God bless.
This is a good story. I'm really glad that she turned her life around ❤
Blessings come when we do. Im happy for her as well. Great story right.
It’s always great when you can smile again.
Good for her!! I work in recovery on the front lines and I can tell you dental care is imperative for most of my clients. As a recovering alcoholic I know that the dentist was the last thing on my mind when I drank. The boost in self esteem is huge to recovery. Smiles go a real long way. Support your local recovery efforts and help your community you'll feel great when you do. Helping people is a key component to my recovery it works it really works.
I wish someone would help me ..im 7 years clean come july..but im so ashamed of my mouth, it's so hard to forgive yourself when you have this constant reminder everyday when you look in the mirror. I pray one day I get a chance to improve my smile.
I really hope you get some help because i know that must be hard...my grandma did drugs and im glad to have her still alive i imagine this is how she must've felt
This ladies and gentlemen is the perfect example why we need a system that focuses on actual rehabilitation and not imprisonment.
Sigh, it’ll never work. The heart wants what the heart wants...
Fact!!
Ive often heard "Everyone needs fun. Clean fun is expensive. Beer and cigs are cheap, but drugs are cheeper. Too much drugs are expensive. Then u die." Im in a tourist town; no shortage of insight here
@@dzizzle8545 as long as people have the need or want for those things rehabilitation programs will be a waste of time.
Only one way to transform the sinful human heart..Jesus is the only way
@@smash0005 girl come on 😒
I'm a dental technician, this is so wonderful to see for all of us. A beautiful transformation. Mentally, spiritually, and physically.
Twisted sista
This made me cry.. Lord i pray to get help with my smile someday too. Self esteem and basic diet can be severely effected by bad dental. 😪praying for all those who can understand the struggles and pain.
I've had 9 teeth pulled in less than 2 months, I had to save for years to have my wisdom teeth removed. I pay out of pocket for my insurance and couldn't get any help what so ever, I'm glad she got the help but damn other people besides recovering addicts need the help
Good for her. It's not about the mistakes we make, it's what we do after we make them.
God, bless her as we see a survivor.
As a dental student this gives me so much motivation, people around me demotivate me by saying "dentist are no good, since they don't save lives" and "dentists should not be called doctors" and stuff but what this dentist did in the video might not be saving her life but he definitely gave more meaning to her life and that one reason is enough for me!! I hope I'll become a good dentist too who can help my patients,
I freaking cried when she cried, so happy for her
Yikes. The people around you are assholes.
At least she is smiling again and that is all that matters... 😭
When she was crying because she got a set of teeth my heart felt joy.
A 20 y/o here who lost her front tooth at age 11 due to a bike accident and got bullied by kids at school, but now going to start her process to get an dental implant in the next couple of months. All I can say is that being able to smile confidently is a gift 💕💕💞💞❣️❣️💓💓
Traumatic events happen to many people, but trauma happens in a soul of some people. Hope she becomes stronger and more resilient each day! 💪 🙏
Teeth really do make the difference. Not only in your looks but confidence. I had 2 teeth pulled. To look at my face you would have thought I had a stroke, no cap. I was embarrassed to smile because you are really judged. Seeing this happen for her brought tears to my eyes. Something as... simple as teeth can change your whole outlook.
A great smile makes a HUGE difference in many aspects of our lives.
Very true!!
This happened alot in California where they removed people's teeth when all they had was a cavity
check out the full video... she could not contain her appreciation and drops everything to give the dentist a huge hug... he did a great thing!
Her smile was priceless...
This touched me in everyyy way man..all d best to her..stay away from drugs folks.it destroys u
This is the first time I've cried watching a youtube video. Her desperation just broke my heart.
She's stunning with her new smile I hope she spends the rest of her life smiling and happy with her daughter!
She looks really nice. Hope the best for her and her kid.
Thanks for helping her out.
This is exactly why I want to be a dentist
Absolutely wonderful story! Woke up this morning with a headache..took aspirin, went to youtube. Then, I saw this story. Beautiful woman who went through a tough time and unfortunately it truly broke her spirit. Amazing dental office gives said woman a new outlook on life, and raises her self esteem and spirits! So yeah..I cried! It makes my heart glow to see good people give back to people who are lost in their lives. Headache is still here..but my heart is full of joy!!
She looks so much younger with the teeth. She’s a beautiful girl.
When she said she just wanted to eat again I started crying with her
I had this procedure done a year and a half ago. This made me so much more grateful.
Oh my gosh! This broke my heart! I am so sorry about the loss of your brother and the torment it caused you. But I am thrilled you were able to break free from the bondage. And sweetie you and your teeth are beautiful! You are precious to God! Lean on him when that darkness tries to creep back in!! Love you sister! Congratulations!!
She will be healthier with all the rot gone in the long run. Thumbs up to Her. She looks amazing!
hope I can afford to fix my teeth too so I can regain my confidence.
Just know that you are still beautiful just as you are!
You can make a trip to India or any other country. Dental treatment is cheap there... do your research about the dentist :)
You can also look into dental schools. They offer reduced pricing for general dentistry, orthodontics (braces), etc. I hope the best for you!
You can apply for a care credit card it is a loan that will pay for an operation with monthly payments. I found a dentist in Houston that was only 22k for full dental implants "New Me Dental"
Yea, dental hygiene schools provide almost free deep scaling and dental education and refer to good dental school and clinics..where u need to pay really less.
She’s beautiful with and without teeth.😊
I’m glad she able to bounce back and have teeth not many people get this opportunity
She's lucky, those new teeth fit her really well.
@@majlordag1889 I know she looks like a completely different person now and she is very lucky she looks so beautiful with her new teeth !!
So happy for her. Everyone deserves a second chance ✨🤩✨
I am so happy for you - be well!
It's such a genuine reaction, you can see she instinctively tries to cover her mouth like there aren't any teeth, realizes it, gives up and drops the mirror. Pure bliss I love it. Everybody deserves to feel human.
im so happy shes making better choices with her life. I'm even happier that she can once again have a beautiful smile
As much as I hated thinking about what she went through, I can't help but smile seeing her smile again 😊
I’m in the same spot. Hoping I can get mine done this year. It costs a lot
50k? Or higher?
This is so inspirational, what an amazing women
I'm so happy for her omg
I can see the happiness in her eyes when she sees her new teeth for the first time :)
and she's so pretty!!
