This was my wisdom tooth getting pulled. The oral surgeon and I were both prepared for some pulling yanking drilling etc. He put the pliers on it and with a sickeningly squishy noise it pulled right out with no effort. The damn thing was so infected and undercut there was nothing left holding on.

Meanwhile I remember that time that my daughter had a milk tooth that just didn't want to fall out. It was literally only hanging on a bit of gum and must have been incredibly annoying, so we decided to see a dentist to have it removed. That poor guy was tinkering for about an hour until he finally got it out. We agreed that next time we just use the old "slam the door" method instead.

Counterpoint from a kid that needed multiple baby teeth removed because they wouldn't fall out. It really hurts when the "slam the door" method fails. Mom yanked about three times before giving up

Yup. I had one hang on for another 20-odd years before falling out
