Watch: Kid takes out own tooth with wrist shot

(YouTube)

Hockey players are pretty much synonymous with missing teeth.

Case in point, these toothless smiles. (They’re kind of a thing of beauty, aren’t they?)

Sometimes, they even casually pull out their own tooth while on the bench, a la Ryan Reaves:

So when we stumbled upon this awesome (read: crazy) video of a kid pulling out his own chiclet via a wrist shot, we obviously had to watch. (Credit goes to Reddit for this act of DIY dentistry.)

On one end of the string, is a puck. On the other is the little boy’s tooth. Add a pair of rollerblades and a hockey stick and you’ve got one less front tooth.

Watch:

We hope the Tooth Fairy was good to him!
