Bella Hadid recently shared an update that her Lyme Disease flared up because of an ongoing tooth infection she has since last year.
She captioned a TikTok post on April 1, “Tooth update. There was a low-grade infection underneath the tooth, NEXT to the tooth I thought was suffering (she’s good) which is the one I got a root canal on a year ago. It continued to spread down, causing a low grade infection in my jaw. I have felt in my heart for months that I needed this tooth out, to heal the rest, and if not, it was going to take me out!”
@babybella777 Tooth update! There was a low-grade infection underneath the tooth, NEXT to the tooth I thought was suffering(she’s good) which is the one I got a root canal on a year ago. It continued to spread down,causing a low grade infection in my jaw. I have felt in my heart for months that I needed this tooth out, to heal the rest, and if not, it was going to take me out!Please listen to your bodies my friends please!!! This made my Lyme flare up, which means the Lyme is attacking the places that are suffering ie tooth, jaw, gut, brain, spine, bones, etc oh and the entire nervous system💕 Any minor trauma to the body whether it’s physically or mentally can cause Lyme to flare up. My jaw has been so inflamed, and would flare up/inflame randomly when I was/am overly stressed or over working. Lyme flare ups happen all the time, so that doesn’t worry me, it’s more-so the jaw situation and how radiating the pain is especially with the Lyme. Some days okay! and some days are difficult. but when my jaw/nerves started to hurt on an aggressive level; it just went 0-100. And now we’re here! I am ok though!! i feel better when I’m riding! (And after starting the 2 rounds of anti-biotics) (that in itself is a wild ride) I think my horses just really take my mind off the pain. This is the reason i stopped riding 10 years ago, and i wasn’t going to let it get to me at my first show back🤭anyways , moral of the story , I’m getting this tooth extracted tomorrow! Going to heal that infection! Ive never been so excited go to the dentist..thank you for checking in on me I see you all!! wish me luck!!!

“Please listen to your bodies my friends please!!!” she reminded her fans. “This made my Lyme flare up, which means the Lyme is attacking the places that are suffering ie tooth, jaw, guy, brain, spine, bones etc oh, and the entire nervous system.”
In 2012, the 26-year-old supermodel, her mom Yolanda Hadid, and her brother Anwar Hadid, were diagnosed with Lyme Disease. Since then, she’s been vocal about her struggles with it.
She captioned on TikTok, “Any minor trauma to the body whether it’s physically or mentally can cause Lyme to flare up. My jaw has been so inflamed, and would flare up/inflame randomly when I was/am overly stressed or over working. Some days it’s okay! And some days are difficult. But when my jaw/nerves started to hurt on an aggressive level; it just went 0-100. And now we’re here!”
However, she assured fans she’s okay, saying, “I am okay though. I feel better when I’m riding. (And after starting 2 rounds of antibiotics) (that in itself is a wild ride) I think my horses just really take my mind off the pain.”
After having the tooth extracted, the supermodel returned to TikTok to share the side effects of the disease she’s suffering from. She enumerated: “crying in the shower, pain parallel to my spine on both sides, shoulder blades and meridian track and going batsh–t emotionally,” among others.
On February 2021, Bella shared a photo of herself with an IV in her arm and captioned it, “Living with a few chronic auto immune disease = always finding time for my IVs.”
She followed up the post with a photo of herself with gauze and tape dressings. She wrote, “After 10 years of needles my tiny veins usually give out once before we get a good one.”
