From trendy dance videos and healthy recipe hacks to clothing try-on hauls, there is one social media app that reigns: TikTok. In the last two years alone, this platform has skyrocketed in popularity. In fact, it was revealed in September 2021 that there are 1 billion active global users! Recently, one of those users has utilized their platform to destigmatize dentures. The result? A viral video and inspirational message to the 120+ million Americans struggling with tooth loss. To learn more, read on!
Meet Princess Glitterhead, TikTok’s Toothless Princess
Alicia, whose social media handle is Princess Glitterhead, is credited as being “TikTok’s Toothless Princess.” After struggling with dental problems, like tooth loss, for years, she decided to restore her smile with dentures. Her candidacy about the emotional and mental aspects of this decision is beyond inspiring. In an interview with Buzzfeed, she shared that it was the scariest thing she had ever done, but she knew it would be well worth it. Today, she has countless videos across various social media platforms sharing her message and stories to millions.
Why Her Message Is Important
As mentioned above, Alicia’s candidacy alone is inspiring. However, it’s her mission to normalize dentures that is perhaps the most commendable. In fact, in a recent video (which amassed more than 10 million views), she encouraged others with dentures to show what they look like with and without their restorations. The reason behind this trend is simple, but important: people have a choice in how they feel. Since then, hundreds of TikTok users have shared videos of themselves with and without dentures, which helps spread awareness on just how common this smile-rebuilding solution is!
