Irish boy removes baby tooth with the help of his father, a thread and a remote control helicopter.
Once a baby tooth is loose, most kids want it gone. Sure, the monetary gains post-loss are an obvious incentive, but the satisfaction of finally prying the tooth free can be its own kind of reward.
No childhood is complete without (at least) the consideration of weird ways to lose wiggly teeth. Calling himself the “Drone Dentist,” tech junkie and Irish father Malcolm Swan took matters into his own hands, and recently helped his son take baby tooth extraction to new, creative (and effective) levels.
In a video taken on his cell phone he explains: “Adam has a very loose tooth. Show us,” Swan says in the video. “And it is attached to floss and this little beauty.” The beauty in question? A remote-controlled aircraft.
After his 8-year-old son gives a thumbs up, Swan flies the plane high. The string pulls taut – and out pops Adam’s tooth. Just like that.
Of course, no internet content is exempt from criticism. But Swan explained to Irish radio station RTE 2FM the stunt did not hurt Adam whatsoever.
"You can see in the video, when the floss comes tight, there's not even a jerk of his head or anything," he said. "It was that loose. I literally could have just plucked it out with my two fingers.”
"Hang on. Who's the 8-year-old? You or your son?" the DJ joked.
"Sometimes I ask myself," Swan admitted.
