Easier to just break the tooth out.

No no no.

If done properly, a twisted tooth will make somebody tell where they gramamma hide her money. And just when they about to pass out from the pain, you give a good sharp yank. Wakes em right up, keeps em lively. No passing out and spoiling the fun.

Or so I hear. :whistling:

BTW, it takes about 40 to 80 pounds of pull to wretch a tooth loose from it's socket. It helps if you twist it a few times before pulling.

Just thought you should know.

Anecdote unrelated to original thread topic:

While I was in Basic training it was deemed neccesary to have my upper wisdom teeth removed. The dentist gave me 1 shot of novacaine to the inner and outer jaw area around each tooth and then left the room. A few minutes later he came back and told me that I "would experience a bit of pressure at each tooth." He put his knee up on the arm of the exam chair, placed his thumb on one of the offending molars, and pushed. After a second or two he let off, reached in with his other hand, grasped the tooth with his index finger and thumb, gave the tooth a little jiggle and it came right out, roots and all! Rinse and repeat.

Over the years I have had many teeth pulled (My roots didn't disolve on my baby teeth - they had to be pulled.) and this was by far the easiest extraction I had ever been through.

The dentist issued me some 800mg Motrins for pain relief and gave me a profile for "light duty work" for the rest of the day. The next day I had an 18 hour KP shift. I will always look upon 800mg Motrins with fondness.

800mg Motrin...a blessing from the Lord.
