A guy from New York was suffering from some issues with breathing through his nose for years. When he went to the doctors they found something pretty crazy!
Doctors at the Mount Sinai Hospital discovered the man had a deviated septum as well as bone-like growths in the nose. Some oral surgeons conducted a rhinoscopy to reveal the guy actually had a tooth growing in through the floor of his nostril.
He was officially diagnosed with an "inverted ectopic tooth." The condition is super rare and affects from 0.1 to 1% of the population. Doctors where able to successfully remove the mans rogue tooth.
