McCarthy, “The Masked Singer” judge, said she’s finally on the mend after undergoing nine surgeries and taking antibiotics for a year to treat a deep bone infection in her jaw.

McCarthy said her health problems started with a failed ceramic dental implant, which led to both her real and prosthetic teeth falling out. Eventually, her dentist chipped away at her jawbone and found a deep bone infection. Her dental troubles left her with extreme pain and affected her ability to eat anything more than soft food for months, according to the story.

Before finding the cause of her problems, she experienced extreme jaw pain, swelling, and growths sprouting on her eyes, McCarthy said.

After all of the treatments, McCarthy believes she’s finally on the mend.
