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.

My father was an Oral Surgeon. He came across situations like this on quite a few occasions. It was odd, but it prevented his job from being boring...just like those people whose arteries were in the “wrong” place and would start bleeding like stuck pigs at the most unexpected times.

My brother was born with a cleft palate. When we were children, he had an ectopic tooth growing out of the middle of the roof of his mouth. So odd seeing that thing growing there. It was removed with no significant issues, but I'll never forget the sight of that thing being where it wasn't supposed to be.

I told you to chew your food, not shove it up your nose!
