Filipino inmates have teeth pulled out with pliers

Seeing the dentist can be a painful experience - and for these men there really is no escaping the agony. Inmates at a Manila jail grimace as they have their teeth pulled.



And no wonder ... there is no anaesthetic, no privacy, not even a chair for the prisoners in the regulation yellow T-shirts of Quezon City jail in the Philippines. At least the men had no extra pain in the pocket, the dental care is offered for free.
