After having her braces removed at age 17, Cheyenne suffered from tooth decay that quickly caused her to lose bits of gum and eroded bones in her jaw.
She was in an extreme amount of pain and, after struggling to eat, lost 15 pounds in just one month, claiming it was weight she “couldn’t even afford to lose.”
The content creator claimed that her dentist assessed the damage and suggested dentures because she “couldn’t afford the dental work,” she explained.
Speaking of the dentist, she claimed, “He was a complete sadist and absolutely loved pulling my teeth. After I paid and got the extractions, he showed his true colors and was a total jerk.”
In a video shared on TikTok, Cheyenne spoke about her decision to get dentures, saying, “I was so happy with my new smile, but so disappointed that I couldn’t keep my natural teeth because of money.”
But now her condition is deteriorating and she has desperately saved up to get permanent implants.
Cheyenne, who works as one full-time server and a part-time photographer, said she had been working double time in an effort to save.
She has also sought the financial help of others through a GoFundMewhere she explained, “It is imperative that I get implants before my gums deteriorate further.”

Her followers on TikTok have offered their support to the content creator by showering her with praise in the comments
To date, Cheyenne has raised $10,000 of her $33,000 goal.
And her followers on TikTok have offered their support to the content creator by showering her with praise in the comments.
One person said, “It looks natural, you look beautiful.”
Other users commented that Cheyenne was “amazing” and “gorgeous.”
And another simply added, “You look beautiful dear.”
Dentists say that tooth decay is more likely if you have braces because the lack of proper brushing can become a breeding ground for bacteria, increasing the risk of developing cavities.
But Cheyenne didn’t reveal if the braces themselves caused her dental problems or if it was due to a lack of care.
