MAURI HELENIUS
A trip to the dentist took a nasty turn in Jönköping, Sweden, according to news agency Siren, according to Aftonbladet.
The patient was fitted with a dental crown, which came off and fell into the patient’s throat during the treatment.
Before the dentist could grab the tooth, the patient swallowed it. Swallowing was followed by a coughing fit.
The patient was given water and sent home. However, the cough continued the next day, and the patient’s breathing sounded abnormal.
The patient went to the emergency room because of his symptoms. In the hospital, it was noticed that the tooth had ended up in the lung.
The unfortunate incident has been reported to the Swedish Health Care Supervisory Agency, Ivo.
