A teenage girl showed up in an Auckland emergency room after she swallowed her toothbrush. She was running up the stairs with the toothbrush in her mouth when she tripped and swallowed it. Her brother heard her choking and came to help. She told doctors that she was fine, but felt the toothbrush churning around in her stomach. The toothbrush could not be detected when x-rayed, but surgeons where able to locate it using a small camera that went through the girls mouth.
Surgeons were able to get the toothbrush out by using a medical snare and pulling it back up through her mouth. There was no internal damage and she was release the same day.
