Whats the harm in using pliers?
Baaah, in the old days we used to use vise-grips and a car mirror after having walked three miles in the snow just to find a car with a mirror.
Seriesly, I remember boot camp dentistry, we were crammed into a cattle car and on our way to dental, when we got out
there were two guys at the bus stop with blood running out of their mouths and moaning in pain, it did not bode well for the future as I was soon to find out.
Yeah, my wisdom teeth were so intimidating the Marines decided to just remove the two molars in front of them to give them room....!!!
