In this episode of the TikTok FAMOUS™️ Podcast, host Meredyth Willits sits down with the vibrant and fearless Sammy, a creator with nearly a million TikTok followers and over 14 million likes, who’s rewriting the script on beauty, confidence, and dental health, one hilarious and brutally honest video at a time.

From dentures in her 30s to being a beauty content creator, Sammy pulls back the curtain on what it’s really like to lose all your teeth, find your smile again, and keep showing up unapologetically—even when people are saving your videos to make fun of you.

Together, they dive into:

✅ What led Sammy to choose full dentures at 37—and why she doesn’t regret it
✅ The truth about dental health vs. dental hygiene (and how society gets it wrong)
✅ Why prosthetic teeth are the only prosthetic we’re allowed to bully
✅ Her viral “witch-to-glam” filter videos and what they really mean
✅ Parenting, confidence, and being a full-time mom while growing a social media empire
✅ How she’s helping thousands of people online feel seen, supported, and less ashamed

Plus, Sammy opens up about…

✨ What it really costs to fix your teeth (and why the $50k root canal route wasn’t it)
✨ Her process for designing her forever smile with full implant-retained dentures
✨ Why she uses dish soap on her teeth (yes, really)
✨ Her big dreams for the future—including being the first major influencer without natural teeth

Whether you’ve ever struggled with shame, judgment, or simply felt like you don’t fit the mold—this episode is your reminder that confidence is something you build, not something you’re born with. Sammy proves that real beauty? It’s got nothing to do with teeth.
