This is the disgusting moment doctors in Vietnam removed a massive 'pebble' from a 70-year-old man's mouth.

The man went to a clinic in Dien Bien Phu City after complaining of mouth underneath his tongue.

Upon further inspection, Dr Tuan found that his salivary gland had become blocked and had calcified – forming a huge pebble-like mass.

Using special tools, the doctor removed the unwanted mass from the man's palate.

The footage was captured on March 9.

The video captured the moment of the doctor removed the pebble in the palate of the man on March 9 in Dien Bien Phu City, Viet Nam.
According to the doctor, Mr Tuan said that a 70-year-old man went to the hospital in a state of pain under the palate. After checking the doctor had discovered under his salivary gland had a pebble. This was the cause of his pain under his palate. Soon afterwards the doctor used the device to remove the pebble from his mouth. It was a large pebble and it left a large hole in the palate of the man. After the doctor took pebble the man felt less pain.
The doctor said that the pebbles formed because the salivary glands were blocked and calcified. Patients need to detect early to avoid long lasting conditions that cause large and painful pebbles.
