I pulled the last six problem teeth myself.The top three on the right,three in the front.I could not afford the Dentist so I sent a friend to the hardware store to by a pair of bent shaped visegrips.[twelve dollars and ninety five cents.]The hardest part was adjusting them so when the clamp bit down,there was no sharp pain.Yes it was painful,but the top one on the upper side all the way back took three days.And pain was severe.I remember it was around five o clock in the morning and I was WIDE awake when I turned the vicegrips the opposite way.When I did that,the tooth slid out smooth as butter.Come to find out,the roots had grown in a curved way that looked like hooks.I kept all the teeth I pulled and have them in an old silk money changer purse.They were not rotten,they just came loose.
ok, that’s the weirdest story on the thread if, in fact, it’s true.
Geez, my Dad did the same thing. I found some of his teeth in an old eyewash glass in the china cabinet. I saw him once with a pair of pliers, I couldn’t watch.
