Woman's shock after Halloween 'devil teeth' get stuck in her mouth

Finding a good costume for Halloween can be an expensive blow to your bank account.

So spare a thought for one reveller in the US who not only forked out for an outfit, but had to pay to have it removed.

Alabama resident Anna Tew donned a set of fake ‘devil teeth’ as part of her zombie costume over the weekend, fixing them in place with a temporary glue that came with them, US television station WKRG reported.

But when she tried to take them off, the fake teeth just wouldn’t budge.

“It went on and on… I tried until it was like 2 o’clock this morning. They wouldn’t budge,” she revealed.

A concerned Ms Tew took a pair of wire clippers to her new gnashers, yet to no avail.

Her last resort was to contact an emergency dentist as the pain began to worsen.

According to Ms Tew the dentist was concerned the temporary $3 set would pull out her actual teeth. Treading carefully, Dr John Murphy began working delicately on the teeth.

“He went in and picked and pulled and I squealed like a baby and they got them out,” she revealed.

Earlier this month, a mother in the UK was given a similar ordeal after she mixed up face paint with a more permanent substance.
