About this Song
Kelly Ripa just revealed she needed gum grafting surgery and the cause was her own brushing habit. Kelly Ripa is opening up about a surprising health scare tied to one of the most basic daily habits: brushing her teeth. On her podcast Let's Talk Off Camera, Ripa revealed she recently underwent gum grafting surgery after years of what she calls being "an over-brusher," resulting in gum recession that required surgical correction. Her husband, Mark Consuelos, had already hinted at how serious the procedure was, telling guest host Kevin Jonas that Ripa who famously skips Novocaine at the dentist said this surgery actually hurt. Dental experts Dr. Mary Beth Aichelmann-Reidy and Dr. Graig Fischgrund explain exactly how aggressive brushing damages gum tissue, and what the correct brushing technique actually looks like. It's a celebrity story with a practical takeaway most people don't expect.
