A mother used a door and a string to remove her child's wobbly tooth.

The woman had a clever idea to employ a traditional method of extracting a baby tooth for her son in Sichuan, China, on July 10.

Footage shows the boy's front tooth tied to a thread, with the rope attached to the doorknob.

The child was hesitant to kick the door by himself, prompting his mother to suddenly kick the door, causing the tooth to fall out instantly.

This shocked the boy causing him to cry in pain.

The mother said: 'We used to do this when we were kids, and I'm happy to let my son experience it.'

Baby teeth are gradually lost over several years as permanent teeth come in. The front teeth are usually lost between the ages of six and eight, and the back teeth are lost between nine and 13 years old.
