According to the Guinness World Record, the mother of one has four extra mandibular (lower jaw) teeth and two extra maxillary (upper jaw) teeth. In her teenage years, Kalpana experienced the gradual emergence of her additional teeth, growing one by one. Despite experiencing no pain, she faced challenges with eating as food often became trapped between the extra teeth. When her parents discovered this additional set of teeth, they were surprised and recommended that she undergo extraction.
However, Kalpana's dentist suggested she wait until the teeth grow out more because they could not be easily removed, GWR said in a release. Ms Balan decided to keep the teeth, even after they'd all fully grown out, as she feared going through with the procedure.
