I'm begging strangers on the internet to PayPal me £2k after I lost my middle teeth – trolls tell me to ‘get a job'
A MUM has taken to TikTok to beg strangers on the internet to fund £2k for her new smile.
28-year-old Tyler Davison, unfortunately, lost two of her bottom row teeth due to gum disease which is caused by a buildup of plaque on the teeth.

It wasn't until March that the mother finally managed to get an appointment with a dentist - but sadly, it was too late to fix anything.
During her visit, Tyler was diagnosed with perio - a serious gum infection that damages the soft tissue around teeth.
It can be a result of poor hygiene, but some people are more prone to this type of infection.
Symptoms may include bad breath, loose teeth and bleeding, swollen gums.
There are many treatments available, depending on the severity of disease.
''I made the choice to get my teeth removed,'' Tyler bravely opened up in the video, where she also educated others on the gum disease.
''I could've had a root canal. But one, it could have failed, and two, it would've only lasted a year and I'd still be in this position.
''I probably would've risked losing more of my teeth,'' said Tyler who posts under the username @ tylller_.
Now, she wears partial dentures - however, this is not something the mum wants to use forever.
''I do want to go for something more permanent, like a bridge, because it's very uncomfortable, I'm really young still.
''I can't eat with it, I can't speak properly with or without it - and who wants to live like this?'' said Tyler who claimed her gums have ''fully receded''.
Desperate to fix her smile, the young mum has now taken to TikTok to ask strangers online to chip in for the teeth transformation.
Tyler said in a recent video: ''I just realised that if 2,000 all PayPal me £1 I can get my smile back.''
The clip has since taken the internet by storm, winning Tyler over 780k views in just two days.
However, whilst the donations are currently sitting at £107.50, not everyone has been so compassionate.
One troll wondered: ''Whatever happened to working?''
Another revealed they also wouldn't be chipping in.
''Sorry gotta use my £1 to buy a 4 pack of doughnuts from Tesco.''
