Mumbai Man Survives After Dental Cap Lodges in Lung

An elderly man in Mumbai accidentally inhaled a dental cap during a dental procedure.

The cap went down into his lung, but doctors were able to remove it using a special camera.

The doctors used a minimally invasive technique.

The man felt no pain during the procedure.

He recovered fully and went home the next day.

Doctors warn this can happen when the throat is numbed during dental work.

The man is grateful for the quick action.
