Let's be honest, there isn't enough Mountain Dew on the planet to rot away all of those chompers.
According to the BBC, a 17-year-old kid in India might have set the world record for most teeth in a human mouth after doctors removed 232 of them during a recent surgery.
Ashik Gavai traveled to Mumbai after 18 months of suffering and swelling, and doctors said that if he would have waited any longer, the plethora of teeth could have broken his jaw.
It took almost seven hours to remove enough teeth from Gavai's pie hole to give him a semi-normal set of 28. Doctors said they couldn't cut out most of Gavai's ivories, so they had to resort to using a chisel and a hammer to remove the hundreds of "little pearl-like teeth."
Gavai's condition was obviously very rare, and doctors said it was a result of a benign tumor in his lower jaw. Similar tumors had yielded as much as 37 teeth in the past, but doctors planned on contacting the "Guinness Book of World Records" in Gavai's case.
