Indian dentist pulled out a record-breaking tooth

The story begins when a young Indian student suffers from pterygium. So he decided to go to the dentist. After consulting, the doctor advised him to remove the tooth to solve the pain caused by tooth swelling.

When 20-year-old Pawan Bhavsar went to see a dentist in Khargone district, Madya Pradesh, India, he probably didn't know he had the longest tooth in the world, even breaking records.

Bhavsar says he has a toothache and a big swelling in his mouth. Saurabh Srivastava, dentist, after reviewing the situation of the tooth, gave advice on the extraction of two teeth so that he would not have to suffer anymore. However, one of the teeth surprised the dentist.

The tooth is about 8.3cm long, beating nearly every previous record for the longest tooth. The previous record was recorded in 2018 when the German dentist named Max Lukas had extracted a tooth up to 3.6cm in length.

Note that the usual length of a human tooth is about 2.1cm.
