Bhubaneswar, Nov 23: In a remarkable feat, 26 year old Kalpana Balan from India has secured her place in the Guinness World Records for boasting an impressive 38 teeth in her mouth, surpassing the average adult count by six.

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.

Ms Balan decided to keep the teeth, even after they'd all fully grown out, as she feared going through with the procedure. 

After achieving the feat, Ms Balan said, "I am so happy to get the Guinness World Records title," she said. "It's my lifetime achievement."
