A Kid In India Had 500, Yes FIVE HUNDRED, Teeth Removed From His Mouth

CNN- A 7-year-old boy complaining of jaw pain was found to have 526 teeth inside his mouth, according to the hospital in India where he was treated. The boy was admitted last month in the southern city of Chennai because of swelling and pain near his molars in his lower right jaw. When doctors scanned and x-rayed his mouth, they found a sac embedded in his lower jaw filled with “abnormal teeth,” Dr. Prathiba Ramani, the head of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology at Saveetha Dental College and Hospital, told CNN. While the surgery to remove the teeth took place last month, doctors needed time to individually examine each tooth before they could confirm their findings.

After discovering the sac, two surgeons removed it from the boy’s mouth. Then Ramani’s team took four to five hours to empty the sac to confirm its contents and discovered the hundreds of teeth. “There were a total of 526 teeth ranging from 0.1 millimeters (.004 inches) to 15 millimeters (0.6 inches). Even the smallest piece had a crown, root and enamel coat indicating it was a tooth,” she said.

I am not going to sit here and act surprised that this kid had half a century worth of chiclets sitting in a sac of his mouth because I honestly don’t think this even registers in the Top 10 craziest stories from India to be blogged on Barstool and I’m pretty sure you could form a real life Avengers with the subjects of those blogs. The 8’1″ lovesick dude is Giant Man, the kid born with three dicks is Tri-Cock, and the 7-year-old with 500+ teeth was clearly meant to be Shark Boy once those teeth grew into their rightful rows in this kid’s mouth.

Instead, this kid had all those teeth removed, which means the real life Thanos has one less rival to foil his plans of wiping out half the life in the universe. But you know what? I’m fine with my life potentially being snapped away in a cosmic coin flip because that kid lived through a nightmare I couldn’t even imagine. I dread going to the dentist for just a cleaning because I loathe the feeling having my teeth scraped with a small metal hook, not to mention the feeling of utter disappointment after my dentist scolds me for not flossing as my mouth re-enacts the bloody elevator scene from The Shining.

So I couldn’t imagine the feeling of thinking you are maybe getting a cavity filled or at worse a root canal taken care of and instead getting a cool 500 teeth yanked from your human. I already pray that I’m a bird so I can fly far far away from here just when the Mr. Thirsty sucking thing is turning my mouth into the Sahara. But I would probably stare a hole through the dentist’s bright ass light if I had to sit through people taking hundreds of teeth out of my head while their “team” sifts through them like kids looking for shells on the beach.

Also, I’m not one to start conspiracy theories. But those teeth are being arranged in a pretty interesting manner by the people performing surgery on something that can best be described as a freak of nature occurrence.

Now if you will excuse me, I have to throw up after reading this story, because looking at all those teeth has me feeling queasy as fuck.
