Traumatised Maura Higgins was left in total agony after being gripped by fear ahead of a visit to the dentist.
The Love Island beauty had her wisdom tooth yanked out - and needed to be restrained by nurses.
It was Maura's first ever experience of dental surgery and she didn't take it at all well.
She had to be strong after the pain just got too much this week.
The Irish star told fans her anxiety levels were going through the roof as she pulled up outside.

"I've left myself in pain for over a week now and I can't even sleep with the THROBBING pain.
