A mum-of-one has shared her story on what it's like to have artificial teeth at just 30 years old – using her TikTok platform to normalise dentures in young adults. Jess Sutcliffe, 30, works as a senior medical secretary in Harlow, Essex, and is a mother to her son, five-year-old Aidan.
From her early teens, the mum's two front teeth began to wear away due to drinking too many fizzy drinks, however, in May 2016, due to a freak accident, the situation escalated dramatically. "I had a ladder fall and the step of the ladder hit me in the mouth and fractured my top two front teeth," Jess told Jam Press.
"The hospital had to push my teeth back in without anaesthetic and I was told I had to stop my contraceptive pill for some antibiotics to work. I visited my own dentist the following day and was given a treatment plan of scans and root canals to see if my teeth could be saved."
