Answer 11

Knew a guy who used a piece of pointed wood.I pulled a loose one out

with my fingers.

Answer 12

Yes, me,it was a front tooth, I used a piece of string tied to the tooth and a small suit case of books, I stood over the bath, raised the case and dropped it, it slipped off a few times, and then success, it was like a punch in the mouth, plenty of blood, but the moral satisfaction was worth it. this was many years ago, I did try to do it to another tooth but chickened out.

Answer 13

Yeah, I did on one of my molars.

A bottle of whisky and some pliers. The only problem was that I squeezed too tight on the tooth and crushed it.

I then had to take a trip to the dentist to remove the rest.

It was only because I wanted to save some money, not because I was scared. Ended up costing me in the long run any way.
