One Illinois man has even more reason to be scared of going to the dentist.
Tom Jozsi, 60, was at the dentist for a routine procedure when he accidentally inhaled a one-inch dental drill bit -- which soon became lodged in his lung. "Well, I don't know. I was at the dentist getting a tooth filled, and then next thing I know I was told I swallowed this tool," Jozsi told CNN affiliate WISN 12."I didn't really even feel it going down. All I felt was a cough. When they did the CT scan they realized, you didn't swallow it, you inhaled it.
"Read MoreBut Alraiyes and his team at the Aurora Medical Center-Kenosha in Kenosha, Wisconsin, came up with a creative way to get the drill bit out. He and a nurse practitioner colleague utilized robotic bronchoscopy, a technique usually used to detect tiny lung cancer nodules. They theorized that the small size of the catheter used would allow them to navigate the narrow airways and remove the drill bit without damaging Jozsi's lung.
