Chrissy Teigen has lost four of her dental caps a result of snacking on too much candy and has been reduced to a diet of soup and mashed potato.
The 35-year-old model and influencer spoke about how she accidentally lost four of her teeth caps as a result of gobbling up fruit roll-ups ahead of Joe Biden's inauguration as the 46th President of the United States in a recent appearance on The Ellen Show.
Watch Chrissy's interview with Ellen in full in the video below:Speaking to Ellen DeGeneres in a virtual interview, Chrissy opened up about the embarrassing mishap, stating that it had occurred while she, her husband John Legend, and their children Miles and Luna, were in Washington D.C. to attend the swearing-in ceremony.
When asked by Ellen about her missing teeth, Chrissy stated:
"Did I lose a tooth! I lost one tooth there and I lost three teeth here. I lost this tooth and this tooth and this tooth... I had all temporary caps on them and they're all gone.
"In the bubble, there was only one thing you could do, and that was go to CVS. They had all this Valentine's Day stuff, so I bought mini Fruit Roll-Ups and I had one bite of one and then this one came off.
"You honestly have no idea how important your teeth are until they're gone. Don't take your teeth for granted, because when all four corners are gone, you cannot eat. So I can't eat until the 18th!"
She continued to tell Ellen that she lost the dental caps in all four corners of her mouth. As a result, eating was extremely painful due to her sore mouth, and for the next 10 days, her diet will consist of nothing but mashed potatoes and soup.
Chrissy first broke the news of the accident in a video shared with her 13.6 million followers on Twitter on January 21, showing how the dental caps fell off while she was snacking.
When a number of her followers expressed their concern over Chrissy's dental health, Chrissy clarified in a follow-up tweet that she had only lost her caps, replying to one fan: "[It was a] Cap :( but i loved him like he was a real tooth. [sic]"
