>I literally remember one of my elderly relatives pulling out a tooth at home with a thread tied around a door handle as if this was nothing special. DIY all the way! Early 1990s, former Soviet Union rural-or-so area.

Some form of this type of tooth pulling was common for baby teeth in the 90s. I’m sure it still is today. I don’t know about recommending it for adult teeth.

Yeah my kid asked me to do some form of this for a baby tooth because She didn’t want to wait for an appointment and it was really bothering her. It worked! Definitely not recommended for an adult tooth. Baby teeth are barely hanging on and don’t have deep roots really
