The tooth puller, a common figure in history and folklore, was often feared for their crude methods of extracting teeth. From ancient times to the Wild West, these individuals were sought out by those suffering from unbearable tooth pain. With tools ranging from pliers to strings tied around teeth, the tooth puller's job was not for the faint of heart. Despite their rough reputation, many people relied on them for relief from dental agony. Today, modern dentistry has replaced the need for such drastic measures, but the legacy of the tooth puller lives on in stories and legends passed down through generations.
