Tammy Slaton Responds to Critics After Getting New Teeth

Tammy Slaton’s latest cosmetic procedure is going to silence her haters.

1000-Lb. Sisters star has unveiled her fresh set of teeth following a bridge installation. Although the procedure was exclusively for her, the creator of Fat Boy App confessed it was also an effective method to silence the criticisms.

On the August 19th episode of the Creative Chaos podcast, Tammy casually mentioned some people’s prior discussions about her smile, adding humorously, “Critics help boost my popularity,” implying that negative comments can contribute to fame.

Tammy, aged 39, has undergone dental treatment to fix a space in her front teeth and fill gaps left by missing teeth. However, her new smile is still being perfected.

She noted that the procedure is currently temporary. They needed to cement the replacements because the adhesive wasn’t working out. Her body was resisting the adhesive, leading to tooth extractions. Now, she has a bridge and there are still more treatments to come. It’s all part of an ongoing process.

As stated by Tammy, she has noticed a minor alteration in her voice following the installation of a dental bridge, which is an artificial tooth fixed between adjacent natural teeth to fill a gap in a person’s smile.

“I have a lisp now,” she shared. “It will go away eventually.”

She added, “The only way I can think my voice might have changed is cause I’m happier.”

Tammy’s radiant new smile emerged about two months following her skin removal surgery in June, which she had after shedding over 500 pounds. In the midst of her significant advancements, the TLC star has not hesitated to address criticisms concerning her appearance, even those who suggested: “Improve your teeth.

In a TikTok video posted in January 2024, I humbly express my hope that folks such as yourself might reconsider sharing comments of a critical nature like the one I recently encountered. Such remarks unfortunately hinder rather than support my self-confidence. My intention was to maintain a positive outlook, and unwelcome criticisms about aspects like my chin or teeth undermine this effort.

At the time, Tammy shared that working on her smile wasn’t an instant or cheap fix.

She went on saying, ‘I’m working towards improving both my life and myself. It’s important that we support each other. Even if I’m without some teeth.’

Tammy added, “It’s sad. Why hate?”
