A nasal foreign body was discovered on routine radiographic examination of a 7-year-old girl following traumatic injury to permanent maxillary central incisors. The mother and the patient were unaware of the object's presence and the child had no nasal symptoms. The child was referred to an ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgeon to have the object assessed and removed. This was accomplished successfully without sequelae on an outpatient basis. This article highlights the role of a dentist in the proper detection and diagnosis, prompt referral for its management and reduction in complications related to foreign bodies.

The article describes the case of an 11-year-old boy who suffered from a metal ring getting stuck on to the tooth. The examination revealed that the metal ring is on the mandibular left first permanent molar. A band remover was used in removing the metal ring. The gingiva surrounding the mandibular left first permanent molar was found to be inflamed due to the pressure by the metal ring and food accumulation between the tooth and the metal ring.
