There’s never a good time for a tooth to suddenly pop out and no more so than when you’re reading the morning news bulletin.

The mother-of-three later revealed via her Instagram account that that she required a tooth repair around a decade ago after her daughter smashed it accidentally while swinging a metal alarm clock.
Padalko recently underwent a “radical repair” on the troublesome tooth that should have her demanding a refund.
“Honestly, I thought the incident would go unnoticed,” Padalko wrote of the incident on Instagram.
“But we underestimated the attention of our viewers,” she added before offering this sage advice: “In any situation, keep calm. See you tomorrow morning.”
