A dad says he was forced to yank out a loose tooth with a pair of pliers after failing to get a dentist appointment - saying he had no option. Chris Langston, 50, was left in excruciating pain for six months as he tried to arrange an NHS dentist appointment to resolve the issue.

It was just out of necessity at the time, it was the circumstances. I can imagine there's a dentist rolling their eyes reading this.
"I was in the worst pain with the tooth. I could see it hanging out. I had the
