Man sprouts new teeth at 95

HANOI (Reuters): A 95-year-old Vietnamese man who watched his
teeth gradually drop out for 20 years has started teething again
and now has a dozen new ones, an official newspaper reported on
Monday.

Nguyen Cong Du in Phu Cu district of the northern province of
Hung Yen started teething in 1998, growing both front and molar
teeth that are "as white as baby-teeth", the official Thanh Nien
(Young People) newspaper said.

Du has now been able to switch from what had become routine
meals of congee, or broth, to Vietnam's popular steamed rice, the
paper said.
