A dinky di Aussie with a dislike of dentists has shown the world just how tough Australians are by smiling as he has two teeth removed with the help of pliers, cardboard and a wooden bat.

The self-declared "Man from Snowy River" underwent the bush surgery in the remote South Australian opal mining town of Coober Pedy.

The video titled "Just a Bit of Outback Dentistry" was posted on YouTube yesterday and shot by a Czech tourist who was visiting his father, a retired opal miner, when they came across a man named Greg "who was having teeth problems".

"Greg had little income and little work. As a joke we offered to pull them out for him. He accepted and that was that," the tourist said.

The video begins with the Akubra-wearing Aussie wrapping a pair of pliers around one of his teeth as he bites down on a piece of cardboard.

Once he has a grip on the dodgy tooth a man with a mallet gives the pliers a whack and yanks out the tooth with one precise blow.

"That's how it's done in the bush," a man says off camera as Greg thanks the 'doctor'.

The process is then repeated for another troublesome tooth before Greg curses "f--kin dentists".

The battling bushman took no painkillers or "outback anaesthetics such as alcohol" but grinned through the pain as blood poured from his mouth.
