As Here Comes Honey Boo Boo fans will no doubt already know, Sugar Bear and Mama June became a couple in 2004. After Sugar Bear and Mama June were together for several years, she learned that he'd been unfaithful.

As a result of the cheating scandal, Sugar Bear and Mama June's relationship ended.

Once Sugar Bear was single again for the first time in many years, he went on to marry a woman who took the name Jennifer Thompson after their wedding. Unfortunately for Sugar Bear and Jennifer, it turned out that their relationship wasn't meant to last either.

In January 2022, Jennifer took to Facebook to announce the end of her marriage to Sugar Bear.

"Me and Mike went our different ways yes it's hard but we will work through it and we will remain friends. So now when everyone sees us and we are not together everyone will know what's going on. Just no questions please."

What Caused Sugar Bear Thompson's Dental Emergency?

Many decades ago, some doctors actually believed that tobacco was good for people. Over the last several decades, however, that certainly has changed as virtually everyone now knows that tobacco is awful for people.

Fortunately, tobacco usage has significantly lessened over the last several years. However, even though it is wonderful that many people have quit using tobacco products, some of them will still suffer consequences from their past dependence.

After Sugar Bear Thompson regularly used chewing tobacco for more than a decade, he eventually put the habit behind him. Still, in May 2022, it seemed like Sugar Bear's past tobacco usage had caught up with him.

Following the end of his marriage to Jennifer, Sugar Bear wanted to look more attractive. As a result, Sugar Bear sought to get his teeth fixed in May 2022 and that led to his dentist finding something very troubling.

While examining Sugar Bear's mouth, his dentist discovered several white spots on the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo star's gums. As doctors and dentists have figured out over the years, spots like those often are an indication of cancer.

While there is no such thing as a good kind of cancer, there certainly are forms of cancer that are worse than others. Tragically for anyone who contracts them, cancers of the throat and mouth are extremely difficult to battle.

Fortunately for Sugar Bear, it turns out that he isn't one of many celebrities who've beaten cancer. The reason for that is while a tumor was removed from Sugar Bear's mouth, it was benign.

After Sugar Bear's benign tumor was removed, his dental makeover could proceed as previously planned. After Sugar Bear's teeth were removed, his dentist installed top and bottom snap-in dentures.

To say that Sugar Bear's new teeth transformed his face is an understatement. Sugar Bear also underwent other procedures including a hair transplant and injections to get wrinkles removed from his face.
