Brits Resort to Pulling Own Teeth
"England has a two-tier dental care system with some dentists offering publicly subsidized treatment through the National Health Service and others performing more expensive private work.
But more than three-quarters of those polled said they had been forced to pay for private treatment because they had been unable to find an NHS dentist. Almost a fifth said they had refused dental treatment because of the cost."
Some used pliers to remove their teeth and others glued broken crowns back in. I had a buddy in college who did that once. The glue thing, that is.
