Vanderpump Rules’ star Scheana Shay discussed a frightening health scare on her podcast, Scheananigans with Scheana Shay. During the episode, she recounted the incident from Season 1 of VPR when she injured her front teeth. “It was absolutely traumatizing,” Scheana shared in the episode. “This was more than just chipping my tooth.”

The ordeal started in 2012 when Scheana took a severe fall during her birthday celebration, resulting in the loss of two teeth. She explained that she had to endure five surgical procedures to address the issue, as the initial injury led to an infection spreading in her mouth. “It was unbelievable what we had to do to reconstruct the roof of my mouth,” Scheana commented.

The experience was made worse by being in the limelight. Scheana shared her anxiety about appearing in public after the accident due to her self-consciousness about her teeth. “I was attending the biggest red carpet event of my life with a flipper in my purse, worried my tooth which was barely attached might fall out,” she recounted.

Scheana Shay details a recent step she took in her health journey

Ahead of her recent 40th birthday, Scheana revealed how she’s taking her health into her own hands. She shared earlier this year that she got a mammogram. “Turning the big 4-0 this year! Time for a mammogram!” she wrote at the time. “This is your reminder to get ALL of your annual checks.”

Afterwards, Scheana took to her podcast to talk about the decision to get her breasts checked. “It’s like so many young women are getting diagnosed with breast cancer,” Scheana said. “I literally just went and got my first mammogram. It was an order that I got three months ago at my annual pap, and I put it off. I was like, ‘Well, I’m not 40 yet. I don’t need to go yet.’”
