The woman is worth $350 million and won’t buy herself a decent set of teeth.

I think she has Tardive Dyskinesia šŸ˜‚šŸ˜

AI Overview

Early Signs of Tardive Dyskinesia

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a, often irreversible, drug-induced movement disorder characterized by involuntary, repetitive body movements—such as grimacing, lip-smacking, or tongue protrusion—resulting from long-term use of dopamine receptor-blocking agents (primarily antipsychotics).

It affects approximately 25% of patients on long-term typical antipsychotic therapy, with higher risks for older adults, females, and those with diabetes.

Symptoms and Physical Signs

TD symptoms are involuntary and often affect the face, mouth, tongue, limbs, and trunk:

Facial/Oral: Tongue thrusting/darting, lip smacking, puckering, puffing out cheeks, chewing motions, rapid eye blinking, or grimacing.

Causes and Risk Factors

Causes: The primary cause is long-term, chronic use of neuroleptic (antipsychotic) medications. It may also be caused by certain anti-nausea medications (metoclopramide).

Mechanism: Antipsychotics block dopamine receptors; when these become hypersensitive, it leads to uncontrollable, involuntary movements.

Risk Factors:

Duration: The longer the medication is taken, the higher the risk.

Demographics: Older age (especially >65), being female (especially post-menopausal), and being of African descent.
Comorbidities: Diabetes, cognitive impairment, or a history of alcohol/substance abuse.

Diagnosis: Schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.

***I think she has Tardive Dyskinesia***

I doubt that but - even so - she could still afford a mouth full of permanent tooth implants. Even a total workup, maybe $30,000, is lunch money for this high roller. I am not worth 1 / millionth of NP's ill gotten gains and I have around 8 or 10 implants; without them I couldn't even chew the fat.

Tardive dyskinesia-

Anita Dunn (White House communications director. Under Obama, and senior advisor to Biden) displayed alarming TD symptoms in a press video. Can’t find it. But I remember being shocked by her display, and then being even more shocked by the causes. Political operatives serving presidents, on antipsychotics? Yikes.
