There are many ways to help knock a loose tooth out.
If I had a tooth that was ready to fall out but wasn't quite ready yet, my mum always advised me to tie a piece of string to the tooth, attach it to a door handle and shut the door.
While I was too much of a scaredy-cat to try out the alternative theory, there are many ways our parents have helped us with problems over the years.
One American father, Rick Rahim, was helping his son with his own teeth problems in the most unusual way.
According to the
Independent, Rick's son Carson found one of his teeth was loose and was in need of knocking it out.
Rick, a trained pilot, decided to take things into his own hands and help his son out by tying a piece of string to the tooth and launching a helicopter just far enough to take the tooth out.
Surprisingly, there's barely any blood and the tooth just falls out painlessly.
It has to be said, 7-year-old Carson definitely has a lot of guts than I do.
