On further investigation, dentists confirmed that a tooth was growing inside. The dentist explained that is not unusual for extra teeth to grow but it is rare for a tooth to grow far inside the nasal cavity.

The CT scan shows a half an inch bony mass. Up to 3.9% people have extra teeth growing near their incisors. These extra teeth are known as Mesiodens and have the potential to travel up to the nose.
