Eruption of a tooth takes place in a predetermined path. However, if the path gets disrupted, the tooth erupts in absurd direction leading to ectopic eruption. The ectopic eruption of permanent tooth into the nasal cavity is an unusual phenomenon and only few cases have been reported in the literature. We report a case of nasal eruption of a tooth in a 47-year-old female patient, which presented as pus discharge in the floor of the left nasal cavity. In this case report, we highlight the importance of clinical findings, investigations and management of ectopic eruption of teeth.
