Root canal treatment was the result of an infection for Kelly Clarkson.Singer Kelly Clarkson has had to have root canal treatment after developing an infected tooth, it has been revealed.

The Since U Been Gone diva posted photographs of herself on Facebook to document her recent trip to the dentist, adding comments that suggested the procedure was more uncomfortable than painful.

"I can't feel [a] portion of my face … It feels so weird and I keep thinking I'm drooling on myself which is so incredibly attractive, I'm aware," she remarked.

Adding a snap of herself pulling a mock sad face, Clarkson wrote: "I've had better days."

The Virtual Medical Centre recently said root canal treatments and other dental procedures need not be painful if they are caught early, so patients should always go for regular check-ups.

According to the British Dental Health Foundation, root canal treatment is only needed when the blood or nerve supply to the tooth is infected due to decay or injury.
