When “David After Dentist” first appeared, it definitely raised some people’s moral hackles, and began an impassioned public dialog. Was it appropriate to videotape your children and put those videotapes on the Internet where anyone could see them? More importantly, should children even be allowed to go to the dentist?! What is the difference between taking a child to the dentist and that scene in Traffic where Michael Douglas’s daughter fucks that dude for crack money? Is there a difference? That is almost word-for-word the argument that America was having last February. People were outraged! But whether or not you thought “David After Dentist” was harmless and funny or dangerous and basically the aforementioned scene in Steven Soderbergh’s Academy Award-winning film Traffic when Michael Douglas’s daughter fucks that guy for crack, what no one predicted was the very dental hygiene-specific way in which that dental hygiene related viral video would inspire other parents of questionable repute to make their own dental hygiene related viral videos, involving their children, loose teeth, twine, and radio-controlled cars.
SPOILER ALERT: yuck.
I could not even watch this video until the end. Did the little girl’s (allegedly) loose tooth come out at the end? Did the mother and father get taken to PRISON at the end? David After Dentist, BEHOLD YOUR LEGACY! This is what thou….ist?….wrought!
I am not sure how David After Dentist sleeps at night. Probably in a race car bed. (Thanks for the tip, Sara.)

i wasnt sure if that car would actually work. my mother used to tie the other end of the string to a doorknob and them slam the door. my family deals in results, not theatricality.
Falcon Heene’s girlfriend is a cutie pie.
I’m glad to see that the lead singer of Candlebox finally settled down.
Split screen? Who is this kid’s dad? Hans Gruber?
He is Vigo! You are like the buzzing of flies to him!
The girl was saved at the last second when CPS burst through the door and took the parents into custody. Sadly, she’s been sent to foster care with her (allegedly) loose tooth intact.

WHY IS SHE SMILING?!?! THIS IS BASICALLY A SCENE OUT OF SAW XVII! MY EYES!!!
They even put their cat in the video! Way to pull out all the stops in your desperate grasp at YouTube stardom, parents.
Today, inspired by David, I put my daughter in harm’s way for Youtube hits. MLIDAtD.
I didnt even realize there was a controversy on the David Dentist video (and I thought I had my finger on the pulse of the blogosphere?!). If drugged videos of kids is NOT OK, then I am gonna lose a ton of my YouTube favorites.
Thank god YouTube wasn’t around when I was a kid. My parents were nowhere near as nice as this kid’s ‘rents. R/C car? Shhhiiiiiiit. 1979 Pontiac Bonneville.
Hardly the biggest issue of this video, but how did they tie the string around the tooth so well? Mine always slipped out of the loop (though it may have been because I was never totally invested in the idea of extraction-by-force).
I never was able to get any variation of string-pulls-tooth to work either. And I invested, I bought in, I sold out to the concept of gettin that little stupid baby tooth out… but it hung for dear life by the roots. And I had the door snap back and hit me in the face, so that was that.
the dads obvs a murderer who used to be in the navy and knows eveything about rope-tying
definitely the creepiest part of this for me was the mom’s voice. That woman is definitely never making it to Kitty Heaven.
PS, I, at 23 years of age, still have a baby tooth intact. It’s the last little piece of my childhood, and I’m hanging on to that sucka.
You’re like my cat! h=He still has his baby teeth AND his grown up teeth! His mouth is like a scary shark mouth, all full of chompers. The vet was like, oh i can pull theme out for you for a small fee, but then the receptionist told me the vet’s specialty is animal dentistry (wtf?) so now I’m not sure if maybe the vet is just trying to scam me? And rip out my cat’s teeth? I don’t know! Someone look in my cat’s mouth ASAP!
I am a dental hygienist. I’m often forced to hold back the urge to rip out hanging-on-by-a- thread teefs at the request of the kid with said loose toof. I have a hard time believing that this kid wasn’t forced into this.
I don’t know, I bet the RC car got her on board and they probably told her it wouldn’t hurt at all. Or it just didn’t occur to her that it might hurt. That’s how my Dad got me. Lie by ommission.
Kids associate all mouth related poking and prodding with pain. Most people grow out of it, but some don’t. I hate those people.
I guess if the tooth is ready to come out it’ll come out. My Dad talked me into doing the doorknob trick. It worked but it surprised the shit outta me and hurt. The girl doesn’t look fucked up and it didn’t seem to hurt her. But what made them think the car would have the power to get that tooth out? Also, nice touch with the fat cat unwittingly adding suspense by laying in front of the jump.
wait for it….
wait for it….
fake.
Something something Obama’s health plan. Something something Palin. Meh. I’m too hungover to put this together.
This is probably just viral marketing for string.
You never see advertisements for string.
They make string but they never advertise.
If I ever did a commercial it would be for string.
“Hi, if you need to get some string get this string. It’s the greatest string in the world. It’s almost rope. But it’s not, it’s string. And you can cut it up into different lengths and tie stuff up with it and stuff. I don’t know what you’re gonna do with it, just get it.”
-Steven Wright
It’s a conspiracy designed by the string industry. Someone alert Vanessa’s mom! MLIGG
It’s so rare to see two parents united in such an epic display of child and pet abuse coupled with douchebaggery. This kid hit the parent lottery.
Minus ten for the lameness of the car. They couldn’t have at least used a remote control dinosaur?! For shaaame.
this is truly disturbing to me beacuse that girl looks like my daughters friend emily SO MUCH
wait…thats not their house
phew!
what? it really does look my kids buddy
mean monsters
Lisa needs braces, DENTAL PLAN!
I like how none of this is important enough to prevent the dad from stopping his g-chatting.
It does not really seem like he is in it to win it on youtube stardom.
(thanks to Wertrew, for leading the way on animated gifs….)
Balls. Guess I did that wrong!
……………….aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand scratch that.
Abuse?! She’s delighted! It’s good to instill a no-fear attitude in your children! They didn’t drive an RC car with a lit cigarette into her forehead! This is healthy and fun. It’s certainly fun, anyway.
I’m with you my old friend alfred! Life is no fun without pain and terribleness.
Stupid Ramp.
Did anyone else not grow up in a household with two video cameras, editing software and fancy RC cars? All we had was string. The only thing that could make me more jealous is if they pulled the tooth out with a power wheels. Also, it’s pretty funny that I get an ad for “Manhattan Oral Surgery” at the bottom of the video – as if this clip really got me back into getting teeth ripped out of my skull.
ABUSE! abuse! that poor, poor dear. all happy thinking everything was fine, and then the car whizzes off the ramp! little thing nearly died!
(i’m obviously talking about the cat.)
Seriously, who doesn’t have homevideos like this sitting around in your parent’s attic? We have videos of us sitting under a tree with a waterballoon hanging just a foot over our heads while our little 10 year old friends shot bb-guns at it (often missing wildly). My parents filmed the video laughing from the dining room window. I actually feel bad for the children that don’t have these kinds of wreckless childhood events on videotape.
The only think wrong with this is that it was posted to Youtube, rather than being held sacred to the inner family circle.
Sadly I don’t have video of myself and my cousins playing hockey using golfclubs and rollerskates on a gravel driveway … that ended in me getting winged in the head (I thought I was struck by lightning) and getting stiches/etc … I’d totally youtube that.
O’Reily is gonna be pissed.
I was going to post a gif of that Ren & Stimpy video where Ren pulls out the nerve endings to his teeth one by one, but then I got all itchy and nauseous and horrified and decided not to share.
Wait, why wasn’t David After Dentist a choice on the Gummies?
I’m more upset about the cat’s involvement, honestly.
To tell you the tooth, I think jumping a canine would have been molar appropriate.
Anytime I see “IRL” written anywhere, I picture David asking “Is this real life?” and giggle. I fail.
I enjoyed the the “itunes just finished burning your cd” noise in the background after which the dad wanders away for a second. I’m glad this guy was multitasking and not focused solely on pulling out his kid’s tooth via ridiculous stunt.
