DIY style…

We all know that feeling of a tooth ache so bad that you just wanna yank it out right then and there. It’s always a thought that crosses our mind, but nine times out of 10 we’ll just schedule a dentist appointment and wait until the pros can handle it. A man in the UK didn’t seem to think that was the most logical course of action however, becoming his own dentist by pulling one of his own teeth out. With a pair of pliers!

Crazy right? I can feel the pain just thinking about it, but the 33-year-old insisted that he had no other choice as he couldn’t get an emergency dental appointment, and his infected tooth was causing him all sorts of pain. So, he did what any rational person would do. He hopped on YouTube, watched an online tutorial, downed a couple shots of whiskey and, well, you can guess the rest.

The process reportedly took him an hour, saying that it was “bloody painful” and “hideous”, recommending people to not try it unless they knew what they were doing.

Guess you gotta do what you gotta do right? Kudos to him for doing what he had to do, but to those out there who are in a similar predicament, it’s probably best to leave your teeth to the professionals…
