This 22 years old man from Saudi Arabia suffered nosebleed at least once a month for over 3 years, and nobody could have guessed the cause of his frequent nosebleed. He later went to see a doctor, and found out that half an inch (1cm) long growing in his nasal cavity which upon closer inspection, dentists proclaimed an extra tooth.



The doctors from the King Fahd Military Medical Complex, in Dhahran, later put the man under general anaesthetic before pulling out the rogue tooth. 



Based on previous studies, up to 3.9 per cent of people have more teeth that usual and they can erupt in unexpected places, and this case is not novel. Dentist Dr John Hellstein, a professor of oral pathology at the University of Iowa, told LiveScience that while extra teeth are not that unusual, they rarely grow inside the nose. The symptoms of such a problem include a blocked nose, headaches, nose bleeds, foul-smelling mucus and even unusual physical form of the nose.
