Another Gorilla Glue fiasco has surfaced.
Tessica Brown, known as “Gorilla Glue girl”, gained internet fame in 2021. This occurred after she mistakenly used Gorilla Glue on her hair as a substitute for hairspray when she ran out.
Well, it appears that we will be having Gorilla Glue case season two because a TikTokker shared a video of her using the glue on her teeth.
TikTokker @lelegetstoit sparked mixed reactions after she shared a video of her applying Gorilla Glue to her teeth because she wants her tooth gems to be permanent.
In the video, she is seen applying the glue directly onto her teeth before proceeding to put on the gems.
She captioned her post: “I need these to be permanent, they look to fye (fire) on me. I’m using multi-coloured gems from Walmart in the craft section, also y’all don’t have to use the glue I’m using lol. I normally use super glue but that wasn’t working strong enough to hold these gems.”

The content creator received online backlash, and many social media users questioned her as to why she would ruin her teeth like that.
A social media user commented: “We did not learn from Gorilla Glue girl?”
Another user said, “Gorilla glue in the mouth is crazy work.”
While another user added, “This is one of the most insane decisions I’ve ever seen.”
Not only is what she is doing dangerous, but using tooth gems without professional dental help can lead to multiple issues in the future.
According to “Blue Sky Dental Blog”, there are risks to DIY tooth gems, especially store bought ones.
“We fear that many young people’s teeth will be left badly damaged by applying cheaper jewels using a general strong adhesive. This is almost certain to damage the tooth enamel and may also lead to decay where small gaps have been left,” it wrote.
It is also public knowledge that you should not use super glue or any type of glue in your mouth, let alone your teeth.
Superglue contains chemicals that are toxic, which can cause allergic reactions, gum irritation or even cause your teeth to die, which will eventually lead to an extraction.
Trends come and go; do not risk losing teeth for a viral moment.
