Young Seahawks fan ‘goes long’ to remove tooth with football

This could be one of the most creative tooth extractions yet.

A young Seattle Seahawks fan responded to his team’s unsatisfactory performance during Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers by amping up the excitement and removing a loose tooth.

Facebook user Jim Devereaux posted a video of his son, Leo, throwing a football at halftime with a string attached to it. The other end of the string was fastened around one of the child's loose teeth.

In the video, Leo throws the ball and his father catches it. The tooth comes free and Leo shows it off to his parents.

“To add some excitement to a tough first half, Seahawks vs. Panthers, we decided to do a tooth extraction -- 12th Man Dentistry, Russell Wilson style,” Devereaux wrote.

The video had been viewed nearly 5,000 times as of Tuesday.
