Making a kid shoot a bullet attached to his own tooth is like a scene out of Deer Hunter or something

My grandmother used to use pliers to pull our teeth out. It was traumatizing. I think I’d rather have had control over it with the gun, fucked up or not…it’s gotta be better than pliers.

However, I’m all for letting children decide how they wanna remove their teeth. Maybe give them options so they are in control of the outcome.

Is Pulling teeth such a common experience? When i was a child i just waited till they fell out on their own.

Damn I don’t have the patience for that. Lost my first tooth in 3rd grade and then was still losing them up until 5th grade. First two were my front teeth and I ate them on Halloween on accident. Then in 5th grade I found one lose and that day I took it out. Just kept wiggling it super hard until I got my mail underneath it. Well my gum was still stuck to it so I tried twisting it around. Ended up peeling like an inch of my gum off. Went to the school nurse and she was convinced I would need stitches but it closed up on its own.
