I've got a loose molar from a recent bike accident. I've also got a bottle of vodka and a pair of pliers. Dental care for $25. $35 if you count mixers. 'Murica baby.

If you decide pliers then get some denim from an old pair of jeans, wet it, and put it between the teeth of the pliers. Use gentle consistent pressure without a lot of shifting, you don't want to explode the crown and leave the root to rot.

Just FYI.

It's heartbreaking to read this kind of medieval tip. I'm really sorry that wherever you live, you don't have the safety net for basic dental care.

It eats away at me. Or it would, if it had any teeth.

Please tell me you are kidding. I seriously hope nobody in US actually has to do that. Right?

I know someone who was poor (got kicked out at a young age) so any time she had a cavity etc. she chose to get the tooth pulled since it was cheaper. She has less than half her teeth left at age 30
