1000-Lb Sisters fans know that Tammy Slaton doesn’t have the best dental hygiene — but should TLC pay for the much-needed work?

The network frequently pays for major surgeries, such as bariatric procedures. This is a medical procedure that Tammy Slaton desperately needed, so would they pay for cosmetic services too?

As far as anyone knows, TLC has not yet offered to fix Tammy’s teeth. But many fans online think they really should foot the bill. Keep reading to learn more about the ongoing conversation.

Redditors discuss how Tammy Slaton will pay for dental work

TLC does cover many of Tammy Slaton’s expenses. But would they actually pay for any dental work? Until the network publically speaks up, it’s all speculation right now. But some fans online think an offer could be appropriate, given how much they rely on Tammy for content.

“The show should pay for Tammy’s teeth to be fixed,” a Reddit user suggested online recently. “Losing this much weight can cause tooth issues so it’s not that I’m picking on her. But I think the show has made so much money off them that should find a dental place willing to show their office (maybe a chain) that will give her permanent replacements.”

Many other Redditors expressed their frustration with the OP’s post and suggested Tammy didn’t deserve anything after how she treated others onscreen. On top of that, a few pointed out that she could likely afford dental care herself now. She’s had several seasons on TLC and still has her YouTube channel.

Overall, Reddit users seemed entirely split over the post. But a few understood what the OP was trying to say and sympathized with Tammy.

“I think what the op is getting at is tlc makes bank on her back and pays her pennies and she’s basically exploited, so give the dancing monkey a banana… 🤷” another user came to the OP’s defense.

In the past, many other 1000-Lb Sisters fans have expressed concern that the network exploits the family. They are compensated for their appearances on the show, but viewers think they could be underpaid.

Will the TLC star get a full-time job anytime soon?

So far, Tammy Slaton has not indicated that she will join the workforce. However, many of her fans think it’s entirely possible that she could hold down a full-time job now. Her family members work in addition to their roles on 1000-Lb Sisters, so it seems plausible that Tammy could too.

A full-time job could also provide healthcare and dental coverage. And that’s something fans really think that Tammy could use as she works toward her health goals.

  1. “She could AFFORD her dental care NOW”????????????????? Oh my god. How utterly stupid. That was spoken by someone that knows absolutely nothing about the cost of dental care. She is going to need a full bridge plus tooth extractions. That’s going to be THOUSANDS of dollars. She doesn’t have that money. None of them do. Maybe she’ll find someone sympathetic to her stupidity and do it for a reduced amount. Her teeth are so bad she probably can’t get any crowns, which run hundreds per crown to THOUSANDS per crown.
