This case report describes aspiration of extracted tooth under general anesthesia during routine dental care. Chest x-ray was done one week after dental treatment and foreign body (FB) aspiration was discovered. We report this case to remind dental providers that early diagnosis of FB aspiration during routine dental care is crucial because prompt diagnosis of foreign body aspiration is key for prevention of complications.
