Eina! Doctors remove 526 teeth from seven-year-old boy's mouth

I know many people who are terrified at the thought of going to the dentist. I, on the other hand, don't really mind it - I know, shock and horror! 

Okay, a disclaimer - I'm going to sound SUPER vain here, but I really do love my teeth and love taking care of them. A bit of whitening, cleaning, and I'm ready to shine, honey!

I often think back to the time I had all four of my wisdom teeth remove. I probably was about 19 or 20 at the time, and I had to survive on mash, gravy, and puree. I also had a bell which I used to summon my family because I couldn't talk. It wasn't my finest moment. 

Then I read this particularly interesting story of a seven-year-old boy from India who complained for days about mouth pain. The pain got worse and when they took scans, they found that his mouth had loads of teeth in there - like 526 to be exact, according to On Air With Ryan Seacrest. 

It has been compared to 'pearls in an oyster' which took literally hours to count and add up.

Thankfully, the surgery is over and the little boy can play and be happy again. 

I guess I'm going to have to think twice when being all happy to go for my next check-up. Who knows what they might discover in there?
