Alicia began losing her teeth after giving birth to her first daughter, Katie, at 21.
“One of my eye teeth just broke right out [in a McDonald’s hamburger], and I was so freaking embarrassed,” she explained in a YouTube confessional.
“I had just married my husband, we just had our first baby. This man married me with perfect teeth … And then the next year his wife is missing a front [tooth].”
Owing to years of avoiding the dentist — due to a traumatic childhood experience — as well as failing to maintain a healthy lifestyle, Alicia’s body had stripped nutrients from her teeth to nourish the baby during gestation.
