Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A dental student from Denmark decided to pull out his own wisdom tooth – and post an online video of himself doing so.
In the clip, Jesper Ryltoft, 25, sits in a chair like a normal patient and – with the aid of a mirror and colleague – yanks-out his own upper left third molar in a move that is being branded ‘bizarre’.
The student, at Aarhus School of Dentistry, said it was time for his tooth to come out anyway – and he thought it would be ‘fun’ to do it himself.
Having uploaded the video onto YouTube, he warned: “Please note: Do not attempt to do anything like this on your own.
“I am a dental student and had professional equipment and a dentist present when doing this.”
So, please don’t try this at home.
Warning – some viewers may find following the video clip disturbing:
