Man repairs tooth with £3.99 kit bought online

A man who doesn't have an NHS dentist has repaired his own tooth with a kit he bought online for £3.99. Antony Watson ordered the plastic and superglue kit from Amazon.

Mr Watson, who said he can't afford private dentistry treatment, used it to fix a damaged crown, reports HullLive. Originally reported by the BBC, Mr Watson's dental repair work appears to be cutting-edge compared to that of another man, Alex Gray. The retired roofer claims to have removed six of his own teeth with pliers after failing to find an NHS dentist.

Speaking about his problem, Mr Watson said that he first broke the tooth more than 20 years ago. He had it crowned, but it broke again while he was eating.
