A man in Saudi Arabia, 22, who's had nosebleed once a month for three years sought the help of doctors only to find a white bony mass about half of an inch growing inside his nasal cavity.

That's right! When dentists examined it, they confirmed it was an extra tooth. The dentist also found it remarkable that the tooth had been undiscovered for so long.

It is thought that the man may have had a mesioden - a common type of extra tooth found near the incisors.
Dr. Hellstein explained that around a third of them develop upside down and can travel towards the nose.
Previous studies have found that up to 3.9% of people have more teeth that usual and they can erupt in unexpected places.

No one is exactly sure why some people have this problem, but the report says, "causes of intranasal teeth include trauma, infection, anatomical malformations, and genetic factors."

Extra teeth can appear in the palette as a normal looking extra tooth, or can grow into the nasal cavity in rare cases. Symptoms of such a problem include a blocked nose, headaches, nose bleeds, foul-smelling mucus and even external deformities of the nose.

Dr. Hellstein said that he sees several cases every year, but that a tooth erupting in through the nasal floor is ‘unusual’.
