Multiple Daytime Emmy Award winner Kelly Ripa has been recovering after a painful dental procedure. Recently, during an episode that featured Nick Jonas, Kelly Ripa’s husband, Mark Consuelos, revealed that Kelly Ripa has had gum graft surgery.
The surgery left her with so much pain that she was even unable to speak. During the Monday episode of Live With Kelly And Mark, Kelly Ripa’s husband mentioned that she was recommended the surgery five years back by one of her dentists, and she has finally done it, and this one just ‘hurts’. Amid Mark’s revelation, let’s know what gum graft surgery really is, which brought Kelly a strong instruction to remain silent until her gums heal.
What is gum graft surgery?
For those wondering if gum graft is a major procedure, the answer is no. It’s a minor surgery that takes 30-45 minutes to be completed. According to multiple public sources, the gum graft surgery, a dental procedure, treats thinning of the gum or gum recession. Gum recession is when the margin of the gum line pulls away, leading to more exposure of the tooth or its root.
