Vanderpump Rules'Scheana Shay opened up about a terrifying medical emergency in a recent episode of her podcast,Scheananigans with Scheana Shay. In the episode, Scheana opened up about when she damaged her front teeth in Season 1 of VPR."It was absolutely traumatizing," Scheana said in the episode. "This wasn't just a situation where I chipped my tooth."

Scheana's tooth saga began in 2012 with a serious fall at her birthday party,whereshe slipped and knocked out two of her teeth. She added that she had to undergo five surgeries to fix the health issue, mainly because the initial injury caused an infection that spread throughout her mouth. "It was just wild what we had to do to rebuild the roof of my mouth," Scheana added.

The situation only worsened with her being in the public eye — Scheana told listeners that she was nervous to make public appearances after the accident because she felt insecure about her teeth. "[I was] doing the biggest red carpet of my life ... with a flipper in my purse, just in case my tooth that was lightly bonded fell out," she explained.
