Kelly Clarkson has had to return to her dentist following root canal treatment earlier this week.
The singer tweeted that she was in quite a lot of pain following the treatment, perhaps due to the infection that caused the emergency dentistry in the first place.
"This week has got to turn around at some point. I think I might be setting a record for how many shots I've had in a mouth in 3 days … not including alcohol," Perez Hilton quoted her as saying.
Clarkson put photos of herself at the dentist on Facebook earlier this week, commenting that she couldn't feel part of her face after being numbed.
This comes after Lily Allen revealed on Twitter last month that she had a 16-hour nosebleed after she had her wisdom teeth removed.
The celebrities don't seem to be having much luck with their emergency dentistry. However, anyone who needs treatment may be pleased to know that these kinds of problems are the exception rather than the rule, with most professionals able to make procedures relatively pain-free.
