An awesome video of a dad in Canada using a squirrel to pull out one of his daughter's milk teeth.

The footage, filmed in Montreal, Canada this week, shows the man's daughter sitting on a bench with a string of dental floss attached to her tooth at one end and a chunk of a granola bar at the other.

Eventually a squirrel takes the food and runs away, pulling the loose tooth out.

The filmer later wrote online: "Not many people get to say they did something for the first time in human history.

"Today, my kid and I get to say that."

We pulled her tooth using the help of a real live squirrel," he continued.

"We tied dental floss to the loose tooth, and a piece of granola bar to the other end - the rest is internet history!"
