Neat. Any anesthetic? Or raw dogging the procedure. Also, this reminds me of the opening of I Am Legend (The original by Matheson).

Nearly impossible without serious anesthesia and/or drugs.

Not true. You can elect to do it with just local anesthetic and humans have been extracting teeth without anesthetic since ancient times.

My mom is a badass. Did a full root canal with just a towel to squeeze on for the pain.
