Every kid dreads having to go to the dentist, but this ingenious kid may have found a way to help kids look forward to it and earn himself a hefty grant from the Nerf corporation

This young man had a loose baby tooth that needed to be pulled and rather than have some clammy handed dentist yank it out with a cold metal clamp, he ran to his toy chest.

The future member of the 'Mythbusters' crew hooked up his tooth to the business end of his Nerf "Big Bad Bow" with a small strand of dental floss and left the arrow fly.

The result makes us want to go back to our dentists with a Nerf gun in tow, whether we've got a tooth that needs pulling or not. Check out a bit of creative home dentistry below.
