TV star Lea Michele has had to undergo dental surgery to have her wisdom teeth removed, as the pain of the condition was having an impact on her performance at work. Wisdom teeth can be unpredictable at best, there’s no telling when they’ll break through or what sort of position they will be in when they do, and their changeable nature can make life very difficult – especially if you’re a singer and actress in one of the highest rated TV shows in the US.
Michele, who plays Rachel Berry in hit show Glee, told her followers on Twitter that she was relieved to be home from the dentist’s, saying ‘Feeling all better from my surgery! So happy it’s over and done with!’ she also seemed to be excited about returning to work after a few days recovery, as she tweeted ‘Back to work tomorrow!’. Earlier in the week, Lea had informed followers that she was not looking forward to the procedure, ‘Off of work now for the rest of the week because I’m having my wisdom teeth taken out tomorrow!’ she posted, adding that she was feeling ‘so nervous!’
The 25-year-old American actress is not the only celebrity to take to Twitter in recent weeks, and the social-networking site is still the most popular online portal for spreading instant news from the world of the rich and famous. Actor Stephen Fry and reality star Kim Kardashian have also been seen trending on the web-site about their dental treatment.
