Mumbai doctors remove 232 teeth from teen_s mouth

Mumbai, July 25 (ANI): Doctors at a Mumbai hospital have removed an astonishing 232 teeth from the mouth of a 17-year-old Indian boy. Hailing from a small village with lack of good healthcare facilities, Ashique Gavai_s family decided to visit a good hospital in the city when their son complained of swelling and pain in his right side of the mouth. The problem of swelling had been persistent for over a year. The doctors admitted Gavai for a surgery on July 22 and during the six-hour-long operation, they were shocked to see innumerous mustard seed-to-rock-sized teeth bulging out of a cyst- like formation. They even discovered a rock-like formation in the affected tooth. The case, which was dubbed as benign tumour of the tooth by doctors, might just lead the teenager to the pathway of making a record.
