As a result, the defender could not continue the match, and therefore he was subbed out as the staff collected the teeth.
Fortunately for his club, the 4-0 win victory means AZ Alkmaar rises above PSV Eindhoven and into second place.
Both clubs could find themselves six points off Ajax if they defeat Feyenoord.
The loss also ends PSV’s unbeaten run at home in the Eredivisie, which stretched back 53 games.
