In a 2021 interview with Vice, Lawrence opened up about why she was missing a tooth before investing in her dazzling new smile.
“I was taking care of a friend’s big fish. I was right next to this thing saying, ‘Here, fishy, fishy, fishy,’ and this stupid thing splashed me and scared me, and I went into the (tank) and “I broke my damn tooth,” he explained. “It’s extremely embarrassing.”
