Talk about a mouthful! This poor 17-year-old who suffered from a rare condition had to have 232 teeth extracted after complaining of severe pain.  The family initially feared he was suffering from cancer so they brought him to the JJ Hospital in Mumbai.

After more than six hours later, he is left with 28 teeth. This was such an amazing ordeal that the doctors had decided to forward the case to the Guinness World Record for the most number of teeth extracted from an individual! No kiddin’.

Ashiq Gavai, the boy with this rare condition, lives in a village in Buldhana district in Amravati region and about a year-and-a-half ago, his family noticed swelling in his lower jaw but the doctors there couldn’t identify the problem.
