Streamer Asmongold explains how the loss of his infected teeth changed his face structure - and drops horrific details.
Zack Hoyt, better known as Asmongold, recently revealed the horrific extent of his dental struggles, admitting he suffered from four severe tooth infections, underwent "tons of root canals," and even pulled his own rotten teeth in his bathroom using pliers. Because this intense battle with oral hygiene left him entirely without molars, the streamer claims the structure of his face has changed, leaving him looking thinner and feeling like his "jawline is eroded."
Ignoring the Tell-Tale Signs
Asmongold's dental health spiraled out of control during his early adulthood. A constant intake of sugary soda, heavy consumption of fast food, and a severe lack of basic dental hygiene put immense strain on his teeth. Since he was on government assistance at the time and could not afford proper dental care, the infections worsened.
To cope, the streamer developed bizarre survival mechanisms- such as shifting an infected tooth with his tongue to manually seal off any foul odor while live on stream. Although he could literally taste the rot and pus inside his mouth every time he bit down on food, he just ate through it. The creator confessed that he put off visiting the dentist for three whole months, only seeking help after receiving a temporary ban from Twitch.
A Lesson Learned
It turns out that Hoyt's forced break from streaming was a blessing in disguise. He finally underwent an emergency procedure to extract the remaining rotten teeth and deeply clean the infected areas. However, the surgery took a dangerous turn: Asmongold's intense medical anxiety caused his blood pressure to spike to 193- a life-threatening level where procedures are normally halted instantly. Because the infections were so severe, the medical staff had no choice but to push through.
Walking away $7,000 lighter, Asmongold noted an immediate difference, shockingly revealing that when he ordered Chipotle the next day, he could no longer taste the constant flavor of rot. However, he stated this painful wake-up call was only the beginning, as he still faces extensive and costly reconstructive surgeries to fully rebuild his mouth. Without the back teeth to support his cheeks, his facial features have collapsed inward - a reality the streamer brutally summarized by stating he now simply "looks like a rat."
Having survived this health crisis, Hoyt has repeatedly urged his audience not to repeat his mistakes, emphasizing that he is now fully aware of how vital proper dental care truly is.
