She needs a viable “extraction” plan.

Your name is on that string!!!

That’s one way to transcend dental medication…

Local anaesthesia given in lumps.

One of the best ways.

Well, this way, the dentist is no longer the bad guy…

Soooo, there’s that.

still the same cost, of course…

Isaac Pullem…

The tooth fairy he is not! well, I guess he could be…

Does hysterectomies, hemorrhoid surgery and circumcision on the side…

PULL!

I gave up several teeth to the doorknob string.

I still have my own teeth and from what dentist have told me they are far better than most of the population around here. I did have to have one pulled last year…I think the dentist had to put his knee on my shoulder to get enough leverage to crack the tooth off my jaw bone. I’d have preferred the door & string method actually, but doubt it would have worked.

I see too much slack here. They need to tighten things up.

Oh, that’s going to hurt!

Is Shemp sitting on the other end of the string?

must be an HMO

I’ve done it that way and it’s quick and painless!

Got ice?

I remember my mom tying a thread around my tooth many times and failing for the first few pulls to get my loose tooth out. Do parents still use that method to pull their kids teeth?

Great one! Love how you have to piece together what’s going on.

As a kid, I’d pull loose teeth by tying a thread around the tooth and to the door knob, then slamming the door to yank it out.

No strings attached… well, maybe one.

If the end with the tooth were whizzing through the open door, I’d believe this one.

You got me real good with this one!

“Open up and say ‘Ow’!”

Take a good look at the artwork, once again the joke is on the background.

“but I’m just here for a cleaning… ouch!

An open and shut case.
