GREAT FALLS, Va., June 16 (UPI) -- A Virginia man took "helicopter parenting" to the extreme by using an actual helicopter and some string to remove his son's loose tooth.

Rick Rahim posted a video to Facebook showing his son standing outside with a string attached to his loose tooth.

"Problem: Loose tooth," text in the video reads, "Solution: Helicopter."

The other end of the string is revealed to be attached to a helicopter, which takes off and creates tension on the string and removes the unwanted tooth.

"Does this make me a 'helicopter parent?'" Rahim wrote. "Do fun, creative stuff with your kids. Make memories together."
