Shark Tank Star's Tooth Fall Horror

Shark Tank star Barbara Corcoran, 76, recently recounted a startling accident that occurred while she was inspecting renovations at her new apartment. She tripped and fell directly onto her face, experiencing a significant injury to her lip and mouth.

Remarkably, Corcoran credits her single crooked tooth with breaking her fall, thereby preventing more severe facial damage. Her lip sustained an injury requiring five stitches, and her front tooth was knocked out in the incident.

Following the accident, Corcoran promptly sought medical attention. She had her lip repaired by a doctor in her apartment building and then visited a dentist in New York City for a cosmetic restoration. Within approximately 30 minutes, she had a new, perfectly straight front tooth, which she humorously contrasted with her "brave" original tooth.

This incident follows Corcoran's previous candid discussions about her appearance, including her admission of undergoing multiple cosmetic procedures in June 2025, such as several facelifts, an eye lift, and various laser treatments. She stated she had planned to travel for four speeches in four cities shortly after the accident and was relieved to have her appearance quickly restored.
