For pretty much all of us, a trip to the dentist is an absolute nightmare. There’s nothing fun about it — someone is poking your teeth with a sharp object and you hear all sorts of weird noises. And if we feel that way as adults, imagine how it feels for kids. So many little ones have a legitimate fear of the dentist, especially if they’ve ever needed advanced dental work. One little girl in China had an extremely shocking reaction to getting dental work, and video of the hilarious outcome went viral, much to people’s delight.
On September 22, 2025, the young girl, who has not been identified, went for a dental appointment at Beimei Yongkang Dental Clinic in Yancheng City, Oriental Daily reported.
The girl was already nervous when she arrived, according to the clinic’s staff. As the doctor and nurse prepared for her root canal, she was already showing signs of resistance. Even though it was clear that the girl wasn’t going to make things easy, it would have been impossible for them to predict what she was going to do next.
When the medical staff began to calm down the girl, she suddenly sprung up from the chair and went straight to the door. Within seconds, the girl was scaling the doorframe like Spider-Man, quickly reaching the top and refusing to come down. Thankfully for everyone, video surveillance captured the entire thing.
The girl’s mother spoke out about the hilarious experience, admitting that her daughter’s climbing is not out of character. Apparently, it’s something she likes to do at home, too. But doing it at the dental office was certainly a first.
“I was outside at the time and only realized she had climbed up when the nurse called me,” the mom said, per Oriental Daily. “I really did not expect this to happen.”
The video quickly began to go viral, and people couldn’t help but find the humor in the situation. Instagram account @dental_mentor shared the video, and people didn’t hold back.
“When I thought I had seen it all,” one person wrote, while another added she was a “Smart girl.”
“The fear is real,” another commenter added.
“There’s never a dull moment in a dental office,” someone else quipped.
