Just a Bit of Outback Dentistry

Occurred on June 15, 2012 / Coober Pedy, Australia

Info From Licensor: We were visiting my partner's father (a retired opal miner from the Czech Republic) in the Australian outback town of Coober Pedy, while on a journey through the red centre. We met a man by the name of Greg who was having teeth problems. Greg had little income and little work. As a joke, we offered to pull them out for him. He accepted and that was that. My partner, Eva prepared the mouth wash (a concoction of warm water and table salt) as her father played the part of a dentist and I the cameraman. With a small wooden bat, pliers, and a piece of cardboard the teeth popped from their sockets. Greg had no pain relief or any other outback anesthetics such as alcohol. Greg grinned through the pain. A true Aussie with a true Aussie smile!
