Tampa dentist aims to break world record for pulling car with teeth

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:07:27 GMT

One Tampa area dentist is doing something drastic with his teeth. Mike Foley loves to show off the power of his jaws, a nod to his favorite movie. “The easiest thing to find in Florida is shark teeth, and so we go to beaches, and I find 15 to 20 shark teeth at a time, and that’s what pretty much hooked me on teeth,” Foley said. After collecting thousands of shark teeth as a kid, Foley decided to move on to human teeth as an adult, not collecting but cleaning. “It’s an easy transition, but it’s funny, I end up talking to my patients about my shark teeth passion quite often,” Foley said. Foley even made shark dentures, which ended up in Ripley’s Believe It or Not.“A lot of my collection kind of revolves around what they have,” he said. “If it has 4.5-inch teeth, it was probably a 45-foot shark.”But it’s Foley’s latest project that goes against convention. It was an idea he got from an acrobatic circus...
