When 20-year-old Pawan Bhavsar was suffering from multiple oral issues, such as jaw-ache, gum swelling, and blisters in his mouth, he decided to pay a visit to the dentist. The doctor was able to identify the root cause of his problem upon closer inspection, which were two of Pawan’s teeth. Nothing seemed to be odd during the appointment, until the doctor pulled out one of them.

At roughly 3.89 centimeters (1.53 inches), the tooth extracted on February 29 is believed to have set a new Guinness World Record for the world’s largest tooth. The record is currently held by Mijo Vodopija, from Croatia, whose 3.72 centimeter-long (1.46 inches) tooth was removed in 2018 by Dr Max Lukas at a clinic in Germany, although it was over a year later that the Guinness World Record itself was awarded.
For comparison, the two front teeth of humans are on average around 2.25 centimeters (0.89 inches), around 1.63 centimeters (0.64 inches) less than Dr Srivatava’s recent removal.
Since the extraction, Pawan is reported to have made a full recovery and no longer suffers from oral problems.
Whoa. That is one heck of a tooth extraction!
