Pulling baby teeth is a rite of passage. For generations, moms and dads have tied a string or floss to a child's loose tooth and either yanked it out by hand or, in some cases, tied the string to a doorknob to get some extra force.

The reward? Some payola from the Tooth Fairy.

But some people over the years have gotten more creative and posted the videos online. On this, National Tooth Fairy Day, take a look at ten of the inventive ways both kids and grownups have come up with to evict their teeth from their heads. Attempt at your own risk.
