A Scarborough man pulled out some of his own teeth with a rusty pliers because he claims he couldn't find an NHS dentist.
George Daulat, 47, carried out the Do It Yourself dentistry after claiming he couldn't even get an appointment at an emergency NHS dentist. The Sun says a friend of his called almost 20 NHS and private dentists in vain.
The paper says Mr Daulat first numbed the pain by downing half a bottle of vodka.
"I was lying awake at night, driven mad by the pain. In the end I simply couldn't take any more," he said.
"I had a pair of pliers in a tool box. They were old and a bit rusty but I knew they would do the job. I bought a bottle of vodka because there is no way I could have done that sober," added the North Yorkshire man.
"I gripped the first tooth and pulled as hard as I could. I felt the wrench in my gums and this blinding pain, followed by a snap as the tooth cracked.
