Supernumerary teeth are those that form in excess to the normal dental formula and while there is no clear pathogenesis for their formation, they are known to vary in size, morphology, location and presentation. We present two cases of otherwise healthy patients who presented with pain, discomfort and discharge from the nasal passages. CT imaging identified a tooth-like density present in the bone of the nasal floor in both patients. In both cases, the tooth was extracted surgically under anaesthetic. A symptomatic supernumerary in the nasal floor might cause a plethora of symptoms and complications, decreasing the overall quality of life for a patient. Patients who present with a supernumerary tooth in the nasal floor should be further investigated with a simple nasal speculum examination and a CT scan. Their surgical management is simple and brings near immediate relief of symptoms.
