A Chinese man was shocked to find two human teeth embedded in his face
days after accidentally colliding with another person during a
basketball game.
The unnamed man was reportedly back in his home city of Dongguan,
China’s Guangdong Province, for the Lunar New Year, when he was invited
to a basketball game by some childhood friends. At one point while
trying to recover a rebound, the man collided with another player; at
first, he thought the man’s chin had hit the left side of his head,
right above the eye, but then he saw the other guy bleeding from his
mouth and saying that he had lost two of his teeth. While he went to
wash the blood pouring from his wound, everyone else was busy looking
for the other player’s teeth, but they were nowhere to be found…

After the unfortunate collision, no one was in the mood for basketball
anymore, so the protagonist of this bizarre story went to have his wound
checked out at the nearest clinic, because it wouldn’t stop bleeding.
The physician there cleaned the wound and told him that it was nothing
serious and that he should continue disinfecting it daily until it
closed completely.

The man did as the doctor advised, but on the 29th of January, six days
after the accidental collision, he noticed a rancid smell coming out of
the wound above his eye. Panicked that the cut had become infected, he
rushed to the emergency room where doctors thoroughly checked the wound
and extracted two chipped teeth from it.

Knowing exactly where those teeth had come from, the man told the
baffled doctors the whole story, and then shared it on social media
along with photos of the embedded teeth and his facial wound. The story
quickly went viral and was eventually picked up by major news outlets.
