Stephen Fry Undergoes Dental Surgery

British actor Stephen Fry underwent dental surgery during a mammoth three-hour session on Friday (20Jan12).

The funnyman had a temporary triple crown put in his mouth, but is returning to his specialist next week (begs23Jan12) to have a permanent replacement fitted.

In a post on his Twitter.com page on Friday morning, he writes, "Hell's teeth and a bucket of blood. 3 hour session at the dentist coming up. There isn't enough (anti-anxiety drug) Xanax in the world to prepare for this".

And updating fans later on in the day, he added "Well that went better than expected. Temporary triple crown fitted on bottom row. Real ones installed next week. Actually fell asleep".

Fry wasn't the only star who visited a dentist on Friday - actress Kirstie Alley also had an appointment with her specialist to undergo root canal surgery.
