2 of my friends have pulled their own teeth. Dave did it twice - had himself some rubber tipped pliers which gave a pretty good hold on the tooth in question. Dennis, being an alcoholic, just used metal pliers and a stanley blade to remove one of his K9s.
My dad's crazy cousin (and I mean actually crazy, but give him anything to fix and he'll do it in seconds - some kind of idiot savant) drilled and filled his own teeth cause he was too tight to go to the dentist. I've not got a clue how he managed it given he completed the "procedure" in his workshop?
I need to go and get both of my top wisdom teeth whipped out, too much billy whizz when I was a young 'un
half of both of 'em has crumbled away. Last time I visited the dentist though I left (after the nutter tried to stick what can only be described as an ice pick in my gob) shouting obscenities as I scurried away as quickly as humanly possible. Not been back since - I need to be sedated.
