LeAnn Rimes Doubles Down On Stage Dental Mishap With The Real Reason

LeAnn Rimes speaks on the genesis of her dental drama.

The country music artist is giving a deeper context into her minor teeth mishap on stage, including how getting her veneers redone opened up Pandora's box for her dental health.

LeAnn Rimes shared that her tooth bridge fell out during a performance at the Skagit Valley Casino & Resort in Washington last month.

The singer revealed that things seemed perfect when she first got her veneers done at 16 until an ill-fated trip to a different dentist to redo them began a harrowing journey.

She noted that her new dentist had not bonded the teeth correctly, and the ensuing consequence was that she underwent several dental surgeries over at least a decade.

Rimes recalled existing in crushing pain for nearly three years, with several instances of her face getting swollen at different times. In her words: "'I look at my pictures from that time, and my face was so different."

The singer experienced an incident on stage nearly a decade ago, in 2014, during a concert in Oklahoma, which resulted in her skipping the event. According to The Daily Mail, Rimes clarified that her jaw had popped out and directly affected her hearing, which is why she had to exit.

Her dental struggles resurfaced on stage last month when she had to pause a performance to swiftly attend to a pressing matter that involved the bridge of her teeth. As shared by The Blast, Rimes gave her Instagram fans a full disclosure of her little situation on stage and how she handled it.

"I feel something pop in my mouth. And if you've been around, you know I've had a lot of dental surgeries, and I have a bridge in the front, and it fell out in the middle of my song last night," she explained.

Rimes explained that she went into panic mode and attempted to push the teeth back in place, but none of her tricks were working. She recalled contemplating whether to forfeit this performance or sing against all odds.

Luck eventually smiled at her, and she found her way around her teeth situation before you could spell Jack Robinson. So the show continued, and a relieved Rimes urged her listeners to learn a lesson or two from her experience.

"The show can go on, even in the midst of sheer, utter embarrassment. You just gotta be real with people," the star concluded.

2024 was a poignant moment in the singer's life, and as always, it culminated in her leaving behind an impactful message for her friends. According to Billboard, Rimes informed her fans as the year began that she went in for a minor surgery after her pap smear results came back abnormal.

"I think it's an important reminder to get our annual screenings to catch changes that may be taking place within the body early on," Rimes shared.

She explained further that abnormal pap results have been a recurrent issue in her life since age 17, and she had managed it through regular examinations and close monitoring.

Rimes noted that her most recent pap smear at the time showed that she had high-grade cervical dysplasia, and she had to undergo surgery to evacuate any precancerous cells.

She rounded up her statement by encouraging women to get their annual Pap test and men to remain regular with their annual physical examinations.

Cervical dysplasia, as noted by the Mayo Clinic, involves abnormal cervical cells that appear different from typical ones. It can be mild to severe and may resolve on its own or potentially lead to cancer over time.

Nearly two decades after Rimes and her current husband, Eddie Cibrian, cheated on their respective partners with each other, she is now giving another angle to the criticism that followed.

Rimes and her husband, Cibrian, began their affair on the set of "Northern Lights" in 2008. At the time, the singer was married to Dean Sheremet, and Cibrian to Brandi Glanville from the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."

As reported by the New York Post, the singer admitted that when the scandal broke out, she quickly realized that many women had been hurt by their partners for doing similar things. According to her: "Like, I've been on both sides of that coin — I've been cheated on, too, so I know that feeling."

She noted that her actions ultimately placed her right in the crossfire of these women's anger, and they began projecting their experiences on her. She decided not to internalize the pain, but instead make amends for her role in the affair.

Since the scandal, Rimes noted that she has grown and experienced significant changes. She affirmed her transition from survival mode to thriving and ultimately living her life.

As regards making amends, Rimes acknowledged her role in the affair in 2009, stating that it was a very selfish move on her end and she regrets causing people pain.

"I take responsibility for everything I've done. I hate that people got hurt, but I don't regret the outcome," the singer declared.

When news about the affair broke out in 2009, the "CSI: Miami" actor vehemently denied it, but their decision to separate from their respective spouses that same year spoke louder than words.

LeAnn Rimes is known for her transparency. What will she reveal next?
