We don't recommend you try this
Ever tried to pull one of your own teeth? It hurts just to think about it. In Britain, a survey of more then 5,000 patients found that 6 percent of them have resorted at some point to self-treatment. One person took out 14 of his teeth with pliers. And others just decided to use a little super-glue on crowns after they popped off. Behind the scary tales -- there is a shortage of dentists in Britain's National Health Service. A good number of them have been leaving the system after the government introduced some reforms in 2006. And by now, 45 percent of dentists don't accept National Health Patients anymore.
