Dentists in India pulled more than 500 teeth from a 7-year-old boy's mouth, according to the New Indian Express.

"The tumor-like growth prevented permanent molar teeth growth in the boy in the affected side. X-Ray and CT scan showed multiple, rudimentary teeth in a bag-like tissue," Senthilnathan told the New India Express.

An odontoma is a non-cancerous tumor that is a type of dental hamartoma.
