Chrissy Teigen knocked out her veneers trying to open a candy cane.
The 40-year-old model - who has Luna nine, Miles, seven, and Esti and Wren, both two, with husband John Legend - was preparing a festive activity for her children when she suffered a mishap that led to her making an emergency trip to the dentist.
Chrissy shared a video to her Instagram account detailing what had happened.
The clip, which was titled Growing Candy Cane (Gone wrong), Chrissy could be seen sat around a dining table at home, helping the children fill plant pots with crumbled Oreo cookies and a candy cane.
In the same video, Chrissy appeared three days later, sitting on a sofa beside a few candy canes as she shared that her tooth fell out as she prepared the candy canes for her children.
She said: "I’ve been working on candy cane-growing. I tried to open one of these bad boys … my tooth fell off."
Showing off her old front tooth, the cookbook author continued: "It's a veneer, I have the whole piece.
This is what mom's do for their kids, so you can think you grew a candy cane. I was trying to create magic - now I have no tooth."
Referring to her children's school recital, Chrissy added: "And tomorrow's the Winter Sing … oh my God!"
In the next scene in the clip, the model could be seen driving her children to their recital, and as she watched them in her seat, Chrissy donned a facemask so no one would spot her missing veneer.
She wrote over the shot of her watching the recital: "Had to go to recital like this."
Chrissy - who secured an emergency dentist appointment - later took to her Instagram Stories and shared a photo of her sitting in a dentist’s chair having her veneer refitted by cosmetic dentist, Dr. Laurence Rifkin.
She penned over the clip: "We are back in business, shout out to the tooth goat."
Mimicking a lisp, the Lip Sync Battle star jokingly wrote in the post's caption: "Merry chrithmath from our family to yours!!!!!!! (sic)”
And following the procedure, Chrissy uploaded another photo to her Instagram Stories, showing off her old tooth.
She said over the image: "Was cool to say hi to my old tooth for a while hiiii old tooth! (sic)"
