What was the strangest dentist visit in history?

Maybe this one was the strangest.

This visit to the dentist had this man who has teeth growing all over his body.

No, nonsense, this is just a costume for a TV series.

Ashik Gavai had probably the most unusual visit to the dentist.

He had 232 teeth pulled out at once. Apparently he’s pretty happy about it.

He is 17 and came in with a really big swelling on his face.

They examined him and found “abnormal growth” on the x-rays.

Not understanding what it was, they decided to open the jaw and look inside.

And they found a molar tooth that was 3.5 x 2 (!) cm and countless small teeth to go with it,

In the end they counted 232 small teeth, each of which developed as an independent tooth.

In addition, there was a rock-hard structure, which had to be removed with hammer and chisel.

It took seven hours to complete this operation, which is unique in the world,

Medically, something like this is called a “Complex Composite Odonntoma” or a benign tumor of the
tooth.
It causes difficulty in eating and swallowing and leads to a grotesque swelling in the face. However, it is
not life threatening.

Nothing like it has been found anywhere in the world.

Now the boy’s face has normalized and he can continue to grow up normally.
