KOLKATA: Doctors of the ENT department of SSKM Hospital today successfully removed a tooth that had stuck in the lung of a 55-year-old man three years ago.

According to one of the doctors, Mr Rajendra Prasad Gupta, a resident of Garulia in North 24-Parganas, came to the hospital complaining of respiratory distress. On proper clinical examination, it was found that a tooth was stuck in his right lung. The patient told doctor that three years ago he had unknowingly gulped a tooth of his own which had come loose.
Later, he developed breathing distress. He was admitted to the hospital and the tooth was successfully removed.
