A WOMAN has gone viral for sharing the story of how she lost her top two front teeth as a youngster.
The TikToker, whose username is @kduschi, said she was playing with her sister when the incident occurred.
"The reality of it is not a very exciting story," she begins.
"From what I remember [and] the stories I've gathered from my family, my sister and I were playing Circa Sole
"And I climbed on top of her shoulders and jumped.

"I was supposed to do a flip or something and hit a lot of things and bit my completely through my lip - I do have a scar - and knocked out at least my two front teeth."
She continues to tell viewers her family didn't have insurance and were in the mindset that her adult teeth would grow in and she would be fine.
"My adult teeth did grow in and they grew in fine, and they looked perfect and whatever.
"And then in my 20's I wanted to get braces.
"They took an X-ray and they were like 'What happened to your face? Like this is what we see when people have a traumatic facial injury.'
"My bone was really thin and my teeth had no root, there was nothing holding it in," she says.
She then demonstrated the dramatic way the dentist turned to her and asked how she ate.
She replied she ate with her back teeth because doing so with her front ones was really painful - they said this was the only thing keeping them intact.
She continued she had been saving up for nearly 10 years and was now planning to get implants.
She showed her camera her "bone grafted" posts in her jawand said in a couple of months time she will be getting a crown and a bridge.

"I'm going to have my smile back hopefully, and until then I have my little fake teeth," she says before putting in her dentures and smiling for the camera

The video has nearly five million views and over 400 thousand likes.
People were quick to react to her story in the comments.

Another penned: "I heard 'my sister and I were...' and that's all I needed to hear [weary face emoji]."
