A woman nicknamed 'wheelie bin teeth' by bullies has got her smile back after a dentist flew her to Turkey for life-changing surgery - when they spotted her on TikTok. Paige Griffin, 26, had been teased for her 'yellow, black and brown' teeth since primary school and the nasty comments continued as an adult.
The mum-of-one struggled to work as a sales consultant due to fear of showing her teeth during sales and would never smile with her teeth on show. Over the years she went to various dentists who couldn’t find a cause for her stained teeth, and the trolling followed her onto social media when she set up a TikTok page.
Paige’s social media was bombarded with nasty comments – including, ‘yellow teeth’ and ‘wheelie bin teeth’ - but some sympathetic followers suggested she set up a GoFundMe page for dental support and Paige successfully raised £400. Paige had almost given up hope when she received a message from SmileDental in May 2022 – a dentist in Turkey – who offered to give her a new set of crowns and porcelain veneers for free – saving her £5,030 to give Paige her smile back.
