Brits resort to pulling own teeth

This piece of news is about a reaserch on english people that 6% of those questioned in the survey of 5,000 patients admitted that they have performed their own dental treatment by using a plier and some glue. They claimed that they could not find a dentist or could not afford the expensive dental fees and this has raised the public's concern.

I found this piece of news really interesting because i would never imagine someone pulling their own teeths (excluding little kids who wanted their wibbly giggly teeth to fall out as soon as they could so they can get money from the tooth fairy). I was very shocked after reading the news that one even pulled 14 teeths out herself/himself using only 2 tools : a plier and glue.
