Pulling out a baby tooth as a kid can be a scary experience, but you really just have to go for it.

Luckily Bryan Clay, an Olympic gold medalist, has the perfect tooth-pulling tool -- a javelin.

A video, posted by Clay on Twitter Tuesday shows the athlete assisting his daughter Ellie with a DIY tooth extraction. Clay tied a piece of floss to his javelin and the other on the loose tooth and he let it rip.

Although the video is really cute, there is a little bit of blood as well as the beautiful sound of a tooth being pulled from Ellie's mouth. We have to admit, she handled it like a champ.
