Ian Boynton, a 42-year-old Iraq war veteran, pulled 13 of his teeth with plier. Those teeth were giving his severe pain so he took matter in his own hands because he couldn't find NHS dentist to seek dental attention for free.

He said: 'I started having pain in a front tooth, which protruded slightly more than the others. I was constantly fiddling with it and wiggling it because it hurt so much.

'In the end I knew it had to come out and had to use the pliers to pull it. Amazingly, it did not hurt as much as you might think.'
