"In 2020 my dentist saw via xray the previous root canal showed signs of being infected. So I went and had it redone," Hall continued. Despite the absence of symptoms, the infection persisted, prompting her to take action.
"Pretty disturbing. I'm taking care of it next week via explant... but leaving an infection that long can cause all kinds of complications," the reality TV star expressed.
Hall further noted the importance of regular dental check-ups, emphasizing, "With no root, you can't feel if there's a problem."
