New York doctors remove tooth growing inside man's nose

Doctors discovered he had a deviated septum -- a condition in which the partition between nasal passages is pushed to one side -- and a rhinoscopy conducted with a small camera discovered the cause -- a tooth growing on "the floor of the right nostril."

The ectopic tooth, a term for a tooth growing in an abnormal place, was measured at about .6 inch long.

The surgeons said they removed the tooth without complications, and the man reported during a follow-up visit three months after the procedure that he was able to breath normally through both nostrils.

I’m afraid to look

I can see an upside to this condition. If you should happen to pick your nose; your nose can bite you so as to discourage that habit.

Must’ve been difficult to chew gum.

My cousin had 13 wisdom teeth in his jaw. His dentist sent him to the local university/dental school, which offered to remove then for free if he agreed to have a class of dental students watching.
