LITTLETON, Colorado (AP) -- A dentist found the source of the toothache Patrick Lawler was complaining about on the roof of his mouth -- a four-inch (10-centimeter) nail the construction worker had unknowingly embedded in his skull six days earlier.

I don't see how he could've not felt the impact or feel any pain when it happened. Must not be a lot of nerves in that area. Or it was just so quick and fast.

Wouldn't he have had sinus problems?

That makes me cringe..ah..I would freak out if I found out that there was a nail shoved up the roof of my mouth into my skull.

Honestly...how can you not know you lodged a nail into your face?

There was a guy who had a nail in his head for a few years without knowing it. Shot himself with a nail gun and apparently didn't feel it. Twas in Guiness World Records.

It looks like it had to have entered from his mouth... How could you do that on accident?
