Kelly Ripa is opening up about a painful dental issue that eventually required surgery—and she says a habit she thought was helping her oral health may have contributed to the problem.
The longtime television personality discussed the ordeal during an episode of her podcast, “Let’s Talk Off Camera,” while chatting with comedian and actress Michelle Buteau, creator and star of “Survival of the Thickest.” What began as a conversation about personal routines turned into a candid explanation of why Ripa recently had to undergo a gum procedure.
Ripa acknowledged that she has always been particularly diligent when it comes to brushing her teeth. In fact, she admitted that she may have taken the habit too far.
