Because of dietary restrictions, Jessica lost many of her teeth.
‘I cannot consume dairy, which caused a lack of calcium and B12 in my body. I also avoid poultry, another source of B12,’ she said.
‘I’ve struggled with severe vitamin D deficiency, which impacts calcium absorption. To compensate, I now take a multitude of vitamins.
‘While health issues played a role, there were other contributing factors that led to my tooth loss, but I’m not at liberty to discuss them due to safety concerns.’
Before opting for dentures, she attempted to get dental implants, but her body reacted negatively to the procedure, and the pain was unbearable.
Adding to her health challenges, Jessica battles temporomandibular joint disorder, which made the decision to remove her teeth a painful necessity.
In 2017, while residing in Pennsylvania and emerging from an abusive marriage, Jessica took the brave step of having most of her teeth extracted.
‘I was put under completely, and all but six of my bottom teeth were pulled,’ she recalled.

‘At that time, I called myself a piranha, and I begged for temporary dentures, but they refused, emphasizing the importance of healing first.’
The next six months were difficult but necessary for Jessica as she went on a journey of boosting her confidence and finding self-love.
‘Over the next six months, I transitioned from being unhappy with my appearance to accepting that if someone couldn’t love me at my worst, they didn’t deserve me at my best,’ she described.
Jessica’s journey took a unique twist when she discovered TikTok. She started documenting her dentures experiences and sharing her story with the world.
She quickly gained attention for her humor and wit, earning her the title the ‘denture queen.’
Jessica spoke about her journey on social media and how she appealed to various groups of people.

‘Soon after, I went viral in 2021 with a video about “the last piece of chicken on earth.” From that moment on, I embraced the name the “denture queen” and began using humor in my videos to make people laugh.
‘My goal was to normalize the denture experience, making it less weird and more uplifting through laughter.’
Through her comedic approach, Jessica created a space where people dealing with dentures could find solace and camaraderie. Her videos offered a sense of community and understanding.
Jessica has always loved traveling and her free-spirited nature has helped her deepen her connection with her followers and motivate others.
‘Staying in one place is hard for me. Travelling has made me realize that we often focus on people’s negatives when we should be celebrating their positives. Why fixate on cosmetics, like teeth or dentures, when we can experience the beauty of life and uplift each other along the way?’ she said.
While Jessica’s journey on social media has been an uplifting and inspiring, it has also highlighted the misconceptions and judgments that society often places on those with dentures.

She added: ‘I feel that people tend to comment negatively or assume that tooth loss is solely due to drug use.
‘However, it can result from various factors, including alcohol, psychiatric medications, dry mouth, acid reflux, pregnancy, chemotherapy, vitamin deficiencies, and even abusive situations. This stigma needs to be challenged and dispelled.’

She added: ‘Always remember that you are gorgeous, no matter what. Teeth don’t define who we are. It’s who we are on the inside that truly matters. Other people’s opinions are just opinions that shouldn’t have a place in your life.
‘The right people will love you for who you are. Stay real, stay true, and always be you, no matter what anyone says!’
