Jenny McCarthy's shocking health battle is a wake-up call about the risks of medical procedures gone wrong.

The 53-year-old actress and TV personality recently revealed a nightmarish year of health struggles stemming from a failed dental implant, leading to nine mouth surgeries, severe infections, and bizarre complications like growths on her eyeballs, all while trying to maintain a semblance of normalcy with husband Donnie Wahlberg, as the Daily Mail reports.

This saga started innocently enough with a ceramic dental implant that turned disastrous, causing McCarthy's teeth and implants to loosen and fall out.

Dental Disaster Turns Life Upside Down

What followed was a cascade of infections, each worse than the last, ravaging her mouth and beyond.

Doctors eventually had to dig into her jawbone, uncovering a deep bone infection that kept her on antibiotics for a year and restricted her to soft foods due to constant stitches.

Adding to the horror, McCarthy developed odd growths on her eyeballs as the infections spiraled out of control, making this far more than a dental issue.

Nine Surgeries and Counting for McCarthy

"I've had nine surgeries this year, on my mouth," she told People, laying bare the sheer scale of her ordeal.

Even after thinking the worst was over, infections returned with a vengeance, bringing jaw pain and swelling that left her unable to chew for extended periods.

Two additional surgeries came after a holiday card photo with Wahlberg, where she appeared noticeably thinner due to her inability to eat much.

Personal Life Strained by Health Crisis

"It's been a little tricky-wicky getting together," McCarthy admitted to People about coordinating with Wahlberg, who’s been filming in Canada while she shoots The Masked Singer in Los Angeles.

Their busy schedules made her health setbacks even harder, as the couple struggled to find time for each other amid the chaos.

Yet, there’s a silver lining as McCarthy now reports being able to eat normally again, a small victory after such a grueling fight.

Holiday Hopes Amid Recovery Challenges

Looking ahead, she’s optimistic about celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas at their Chicago home, eager to cook a turkey and enjoy Wahlberg’s company.

This health crisis puts into perspective what really matters -- family time over Hollywood glitz, a value many conservatives cherish in an era of progressive overreach that often mocks tradition.

McCarthy’s resilience shines through, reminding us that even in a culture obsessed with superficial perfection, real strength comes from enduring personal storms with grace and grit.
