The saying is that the show must go on.
And it certainly did, after Kamolwan Chanago, a contestant in the Miss Grand Thailand pageant, struggled with her veneers Wednesday while speaking on stage during alivestream(about 51:30 in).
But she turned away from the audience, made the needed adjustments, then turned back to flash a smile and take a walk around the stage as planned.
"During her on-stage introduction, Kamolwan Chanago experienced a minor and unexpected incident in which her veneer teeth became dislodged," a spokesperson for the organization behind the pageant toldPEOPLE. "She handled the situation with professionalism and composure, and the event continued smoothly without disruption. We are proud of her confidence and stage presence throughout the competition."

She and the other competitors in the Miss Grand Thailand event will learn their fate Saturday.
In November, the Miss Universe contestant representing Jamaica, Dr. Gabrielle Henry, suffered her own unscripted moment when she fell from the pageant stage in a preliminary competition in the same city.
