Kelly Ripa\u2019s<\/a> diligent dental hygiene came back to bite her.<\/p>\n

The longtime talk show host revealed her “good-bad habit” of brushing her teeth too much caused severe gum recession, eventually forcing her to undergo surgery that temporarily left the famously chatty TV personality unable to speak.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m an over-brusher,” Ripa revealed during an episode of her podcast, “Let’s Talk Off Camera,”<\/a> that was recorded before her surgery.<\/p>\n

KELLY RIPA’S PAINFUL SURGERY LEAVES HER UNABLE TO SPEAK<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“I brush my teeth too much,” she explained to her guest, “Survival of the Thickest” creator Michelle Buteau. “It\u2019s a good-bad habit. But I\u2019ve caused gum recession down here specifically, and so they have gotta re-gum my gums.”<\/p>\n

Buteau complimented Ripa for prioritizing her health, but the talk show host quickly admitted the procedure was long overdue.<\/p>\n

“Before you praise me, I was supposed to do it five years ago,” Ripa said. “But now, just so you know, the doctor was like, \u2018Now, you don\u2019t have the luxury of time.\u2019”<\/p>\n

Ripa’s surgery led her to miss a handful of live tapings of the morning talk show she hosts with husband Mark Consuelos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the time, Consuelos revealed Ripa’s lengthy recovery process included not talking while chatting with musician Nick Jonas<\/a> on “Live with Kelly and Mark.”<\/p>\n

“Wow. That\u2019s got to be the hardest thing she\u2019s ever done,” Jonas joked.<\/p>\n

Describing Ripa as “such a great conversationalist,” Consuelos hinted he might have been having trouble getting the talk show host to follow doctor’s orders.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m trying to keep her to follow the rules, follow the directions,” he said.<\/p>\n

As Ripa recovered at home, Consuelos said the toughest part wasn’t the pain \u2013 it was convincing the famously curious TV host to stop checking on her healing gums and let the procedure do its work.<\/p>\n

“Last night she was like, \u2018Can you look?\u2019 I\u2019m like, \u2018I\u2019m not pulling your lip down,\u2019” Consuelos said. Ripa instead got into position so Consuelos could check without touching her lip. “So I\u2019m down there like, \u2018It looks great!\u2019”<\/p>\n

The longtime actor said the surgery was especially alarming because Ripa rarely complains about pain, which made the recovery stand out from any previous trip to the dentist.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, it\u2019s painful,” he told Jonas. “But she famously doesn\u2019t feel pain. When she goes into the dentist, she doesn\u2019t use the novocaine. But this one hurts, so I know it\u2019s bad.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
