The situation began when the victim found a video on TikTok for dental services under the name “Tha_Toothly_Houston.” After inquiring about treatment, the alleged victim sent photos of her teeth and received a quote for $1,000 to replace multiple teeth, and $350 for a bridge. She was told to make an appointment if she wanted the work done.

During the treatment, the alleged victim reported that they experienced severe discomfort and dizziness due to the pressure and chemicals used. She later reported difficulty closing her mouth, discomfort from the size of the veneers, and persistent pain.
