Tooth In Man’s Nose : Doctors Find Extra Tooth in Really Odd Place

A man from Saudi Arabia who suffered from regular nosebleeds was recently found to have an extra tooth growing in his nose – a rare but not unheard of medical phenomenon.

Doctors noted that the “surprise” tooth was surprising because the patients had a complete and orderly set of normal teeth, according to Live Science.

‘”It’s an unusual case of an extra tooth – certainly, the most impressive intranasal photo I think I’ve ever seen of one. I’ve never seen the tooth actually in there,” researchers wrote in the study. “It’s an unusual case of an extra tooth – certainly, the most impressive intranasal photo I think I’ve ever seen of one. I’ve never seen the tooth actually in there.”

According to papers published in the American Journal of Cause Reports, the man recovered and stopped experiencing nosebleeds three months after the procedure.
