Julianne Hough has root canal surgery

Actress Julianne Hough is recovering after undergoing root canal surgery.

The Footloose star was left with a swollen face after the dental procedure earlier this week, and she uploaded a photo showing her looking glum to her Twitter.com page.

In the accompanying post, she writes, "After my Apicoectomy root canal surgery... I've got chipmunk cheeks and Botox looking lips!"

The surgery caps a tough few days for Hough - she fell victim to thieves who stole £62,500 worth of jewellery from her car last Friday.
