She later had all her teeth removed and replaced with dentures , but when her wisdom teeth started coming through Hansen allegedly removed them with a screwdriver . ‘ He had a screwdriver in his hand , he then tilted my head back ... after that he had grabbed the screwdriver and started digging at the back of my gums to try and get out these wisdom teeth , ’ she said in the video .
