Working inside strangers’ mouths is gross enough but what this dentist found when he opened a patient’s mouth is beyond gross.  The patient’s teeth were very yellowed but that wasn’t the worst part.  The worst part was when the dentist saw all the maggots crawling around in his mouth.  Somehow, I am certain that he probably didn’t learn what to do about them in dentistry school.  maggots are usually found in rotten meat and the patient, believed to be a woman has serious gum problems.

 The unnamed patient, connected to some form of tube, can be heard breathing heavily in the 56-second long clip.

As her top lip is also pulled away, the true extent of her infestation is revealed as the insects can be seen swarming in her gums.

Despite having no official diagnosis, the woman appears to suffer from myiasis – which comes from the Latin word ‘myia’ meaning fly and ‘iasis’ meaning disease.

The flies’ larvae can feed on the host’s living or dead tissue, liquid body substance, or ingested food.

When the tissues in the oral cavity are invaded by parasites, this is known as oral myiasis.

Those at risk of the rare condition include those from poorer social backgrounds and people who have suffered wounds or other injury to the face.
It is also more common in regions with a warmer climate.

Infestations of the nose and ears are dangerous because of the possibility of penetration into the brain, the fatality rate is 8 per cent in such cases.

The clip comes after a horrific footage released in March 2015 showed a young girl whose gums were infested by a dozens maggots.

Ana Cardoso, 10, had been taken to the clinic in Brazil after complaining of a tingling sensation in her gums and things ‘moving around’.
