• Chrissy Teigen's tooth fell out and she's at the dentist right now for a replacement.
  • Chrissy brought her mom along for the occasion but didn't offer details about how it happened.
  • Other content on her IG stories might offer clues into what caused the tooth loss.

So um, Chrissy Teigen is apparently at the dentist right now because her tooth fell out. Yup, you heard that right: The world's favorite food-loving model is one molar short.

While, yes, Chrissy's given fans many a glance into her personal life (think: all the adorable photos of her kids, Luna and Miles, and actual photos of herself steaming her vagina), this one takes the cake.

In her Instagram Story, Chrissy opens wide for the camera after explaining, "my tooth fell out. Now, I've got to get a new tooth." Then, Chrissy pans to her mom who, from the nearby couch she's seated on, flashes her two rows of pearly-white-fully-intact teeth. (Don't worry, Chrissy, my mom comes to the dentist with me, too.)

But before Chrissy signs off, leaving us wondering how TF this happened (not cool, Chrissy), she brings the camera back to her mouth—this time much closer—and gives viewers another peek at the vacant spot her fallen tooth left behind, and an "ow" that, if you've ever lost a tooth, really hits home.

I need to be real for a sec: I have absolutely no idea how Chrissy's tooth fell out (but you can bet I've got notifications set for her Instagram Stories now). Still, I think this calls for an investigation. Let's look at the facts, shall we?

Just 19 hours ago Chrissy posted a mouth-watering video of herself filling a large dish with the steaming chicken and veggie casserole that would be the base for her chicken and biscuits. Could it be that, maybe after taking a bite into a biscuit, Chrissy realized she left a tooth behind in that flaky biscuit goodness?

Or did she maybe go a little too hard hard at an event she attended in honor of husband John Legend Wednesday night? Chrissy posted a snap of herself laughing between Lionel Richie and John at a table at the Chateau Marmont. Could something have transpired at that event that popped out the tooth in question?

I'll admit, all of these seem extremely unlikely, but I did the best I can, okay?! Until I get the deets on Chrissy's tooth, guessing games are all I have to hold onto. (Chrissy, please tell me more! I'm worried!)
