Video: Amateur Home Dentistry With Eric Belanger

There isn’t much to say about this clip of Washington Capital Eric Belanger pulling his own tooth beyond the obvious banalities of hockey players being tough. (He also returned to the game after doing his best Orin Scrivello, and lost seven teeth.)

But I want to know how Belanger stayed so serene about popping a tooth out of his mouth. Had I realized that my mouth was full of blood and one of my front teeth was wiggling, I probably would have fainted. Or cried. Or both.

Related note: I’ve never played hockey.
