Man pulls out 13 of his own teeth because he couldn't find a dentist

He's a former US soldier and he couldn't find a NHS dentist so he used a pair of pliers to pull out neither mor nor less than 13 of his teeth.

Daily Mail:

Iraq War veteran Ian Boynton could not afford to go private for treatment so instead took the drastic action to remove 13 of his teeth that were giving him severe pain.

The 42-year-old, from Beverley, East Yorkshire, had not had his teeth looked at since seeing the army dentist in 2003. He had not been registered with a dentist of his own since 2001.

But when Mr Boynton started suffering from toothache in 2006 he decided to take drastic action.

In the last two years Mr Boynton has pulled out 13 top teeth including molars, incisors and canines. He now only has two teeth left in the roof of his mouth.
