Just as a bit of advice on this thread. If you need a tooth removed, don't pull it, push it.
Provided you don't have a perforated eardrum, if you have to do this again try a mixture of 50% white vinegar and 50% isopropyl alcohol.It worked though. I as recommended softened the wax with olive oil a day or so before, then just blasted what must've been a gallon of water in both ears. I didn't see any wax as it was probably blasted out onto the floor, but after that i could hear just fine!
I stitched up a bullet wound in my own thigh, having used whiskey as an antisepctic and anaesthetic.
I also reset a compound fracture in my old chap, and used 2 x fence posts as splints. The splinters were quite sensual.
And following a really bad hangover I used a Makita hammer drill for a bit of self trepanning.
I use a small drill bit and drill through by handI trapped my finger years ago, which caused the finger below the nail to swell, which was painful enough for me to pop to casualty. They drilled the nail to release the pressure, and the relief was instant, to the point of being pleasurable.
Since then, I've almost looked forward to trapping my finger, just to get that feeling of pleasure by pushing a hot paperclip through the nail.
Ranulph Fiennes & his self-amputated fingertips, anyone?
(after an Arctic expedition)
It was either a Dremel, or fine hacksaw-blade
It's well documented in his autobiography; Mad, Bad And Dagerous To Know

I have done this using a tiny modeller's drill in a pin chuck. Gently does it, a tiny bit at a time as you don't want to drill into the nail bed and cause more damage. Gently, gently, exquisitely painful even just touching the nail, then the marvellous spurting relief after breaking through. It was a big toe nail, so there was a lot of trapped blood, and a surprising amount of pressure. The next time, I used a bigger tissue.I use a small drill bit and drill through by hand
Done that. had it done a few times over the yearsI trapped my finger years ago, which caused the finger below the nail to swell, which was painful enough for me to pop to casualty. They drilled the nail to release the pressure, and the relief was instant, to the point of being pleasurable.
