Writing in her new! Magazine column, Kerry said: "I'm still feeling really run down after being ill last week."
She then confessed: "I had to get an emergency dentist appointment because I had so much pain on the left side of my face.
"I've got lumps on my jaw which they are going to test to see what is wrong, but the dentist thinks its to do with my glands."
She continued: "I'm a massive hypochondriac at the best of times, so I'm feeling a bit nervous about it all, to be honest."
On Tuesday, Kerry took to Instagram in a live video to reveal she was on the way to the dentist.
"I've got to get sedated," she said.
Kerry was visibly nervous, with fans quick to flood her with love and support.
"It will all be over before you know it. Good luck," said one fan in the comments.
Another then penned: "You'll be grand it's never as bad as you think."
While a third wrote: "I'm exactly same with the dentist cant stand it. good luck."

Kerry has spoken about her health anxiety in the past, with her revealing last year that she thought she had cancer.
Last year she opened up about the painful symptoms she was experiencing, that caused her to become incredibly anxious and worried.
The symptoms Kerry endured for quite some time last year included losing large, dark clumps of blood from her vagina and having painful bleeding after sex.
She told OK! at the time: "The pain became unbearable. I'm used to feeling sore because of my scoliosis, but it was getting to the point I wasn't sleeping.
Kerry Katona's love life timeline
Kerry's first high-profile relationship was with Brian McFadden, who was then a member of the Irish boyband Westlife.
The couple married in 2002 and had two daughters together, Molly and Lilly-Sue, but divorce beckoned just four years later after infidelity claims.
In 2007, Kerry married Mark Croft, a former taxi driver.
Their relationship was tumultuous and marked by financial difficulties and accusations of infidelity.
They had two children together, Heidi and Maxwell, before divorcing in 2011.
Kerry has spoken openly about the difficulties she faced during this period, including struggles with her mental health and substance abuse.
Following this, she entered into a relationship with George Kay, a former professional rugby league player.
They married in 2014 and had a daughter, Dylan-Jorge (DJ). However, their relationship was fraught with issues, including horrifying domestic abuse, and they separated in 2017. Kay died in 2019 after 'biting into a ball of cocaine'.
Kerry later found love again with Ryan Mahoney, a fitness trainer.
The couple became engaged in 2020, and Kerry described Ryan as a stabilising and positive influence in her life.
After increasing speculation late in 2024, Kerry revealed they had split over a "breach in trust" and Ryan had moved out of her home.
"I would be up all night, and I'd also isolate myself one week every month because I couldn't do anything. I couldn't move, and I'd be constantly crying."
Kerry continued to explain how doctors found blood in her cervix, admitting: "When I got that news, in my head I thought - 'I've got cancer, I'm going to die'."
The blood was discovered when she was admitted to hospital for her endometriosis.
"I remember screaming and crying in pain, so I went for an internal scan and they found a cyst on my right ovary," she said of her health scare at the time.
She added: "That didn't concern them as much because I have endometriosis, but when they discovered I had blood in my cervix, they were concerned."
