To be fair, he didn’t exactly have to go to dental school or anything

Listen, if all you're doing is extractions all you need is a spike, a hammer, some pilers, some elbow grease and a strong stomach.

Edit: turns out he did go to dental school though

I pulled a tooth out of my dads face once with some fishing line and a scrap piece of wood

It was awesome
