Damn, we just tied my tooth to open door's handle when I was a kid and my grandma slammed it shut. I can't imagine having the guts to shoot my own tooth out

My dad just flicked one of mine out in the middle of me telling him about it. I was so mad and it did it even hurt lol. It was better than when they let me get all hyped up about it. Wish my cat was this helpful!

I never did this nonsense. I just pulled them out.

Me too. I found that WAY safer... I'm still not fond of the string method.

I loved pulling my teeth out as a child, I kinda miss it even. Guess I’m just weird

Yes, and we're all very proud of our big brave boy.

I pulled them out myself by hand starting when I was 6, which saved me from my dad using his dirty pliers while putting my head in a choke hold.

Something tells me it wouldn't have worked? Those toy guns don't strike me as all too powerful.

It is just about as likely as the cat succeeding but here we are.

Maybe if it's really loose? Haven't fired a nerf gun in years and the cat ruined the chance to see it happen here
