Well, This Is 1 Way to Pull Out a Loose Tooth

We're not sure if Hendersonville, TN, dad Phil Smith's YouTube tutorial entitled "How to Pull a Tooth With a Golf Club, Golf Ball, and Dental Floss" has been viewed almost a million times because people are fascinated or disturbed. When 7-year-old Noah told his dad that he wanted to get his tooth out but was concerned that it would be painful to do so slowly, Smith came up with an unorthodox approach. He tied one end of a piece of dental floss around the wiggly tooth, tied the other to a golf ball, and swung away. Important to note: Mom was out shopping while all of this went down.

Of the nearly 700 comments associated with Smith's YouTube video, they range from the outraged ("As a practicing dentist for 30 years, I can tell you extracting your son's tooth with a golf club may result in a criminal charge of child abuse") to the tongue-in-cheek ("And if you want all your teeth removed, stand a little closer to the backswing"). What'd you think of this dad's tactic?
