A young girl in Jiangsu, China, has become an internet hit after a video showed her climbing a door frame at a dental clinic to escape a root canal procedure. The incident happened on September 22 at the Beimei Yongkang Dental Clinic in Yancheng city, where the child was visiting with her family for dental treatment.
Security cameras at the clinic recorded the whole thing. As the dentist and nurse got ready for the procedure, the girl became very nervous. She suddenly ran to the door and started climbing the frame, holding on tight for her dear life and quickly pulling herself up while staff tried to calm her down. The video shows her refusing to come down, leaving the dental team surprised and amused by her climbing skills. “Not gonna lie. That’s impressive,” a user commented.
The girl desperately climbed a dental clinic door frame like spiderman to avoid getting a root canal, and that showed off amazing skills on the smooth surface. Staff members at the clinic were able to bring her down later for the dental treatment. The video of what she did quickly went viral on social media sites, including Instagram where it was shared by @dental_mentor, and has since gotten a lot of attention and reactions from viewers around the world.

The girl’s mother gave some background about her daughter’s behavior. She said that her child likes climbing door frames at home and is naturally lively and playful. “I was outside and only realized she had climbed up when the nurse called me. I really didn’t expect this,” the mother said. According to her, the girl’s fun and energetic personality often leads to these kinds of surprising moments.
The video has gotten many comments from people online who found the situation both funny and easy to relate to. Many viewers praised the girl’s climbing skills, with one user saying “Not gonna lie. That’s impressive.” Others were shocked by how she did it, with another writing “Firstly how did she get to climb such a smooth surface? Mindblowing and funny too!” Similar to other viral videos that have taken TikTok by storm, this video connected with millions of social media users who could relate to being scared of dental visits.
Some viewers made jokes about their own fear of the dentist, with one person saying “I need a root canal done and she’s not making me feel better about it.” Another person joked “She knows the dentists with their back and neck pain, can’t get to her.” Most people online found her “cute and helpless” behavior sweet, knowing that being scared of the dentist is common for both children and adults.
