neeker2 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Well, I have this loose tooth(molar). It refuses to come out! It is only half still attached and is shifted and pushed down somewhat. I go to the dentist I think sometime this week, and I NEED to get this thing out! Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxen Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 If you're going to the dentist why don't you just get him to take it out?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeker2 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 I've had some unpleasant experiences with getting teeth pulled by dentists. I'd rather remove my own teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Kakata Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 NO. DO NOT DO THAT. Why? Because you will not only do yourself some serious damage, but you will run the EXTREMELY high risk of infection. As someone who had an infected jaw from bugs getting into the erupted wisdom tooth hole, you do NOT want that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iKraxus Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Go to the dentist, all I can say is I've ripped my teeth out and I got mouth infections when I was asleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeker2 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 I've removed almost all my teeth myself and nothing bad has happened(similar thing has happened before).I always wash my hands etc and use a paper towel. No problems yet. I remember pulling a tooth that wasn't even loose and I was fine. Plus, the hole is filled by the new tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iKraxus Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Well, if you do pull it out, good luck! If you do go to the dentist, good luck also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
behemothrules Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Hmm I supose you could do that thing where you tie a string around your tooth, than tie it to a doorhandle and slam the door, but that hurts quite a bit :guiltysmiley: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Himari Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I assume that loose tooth is a baby tooth and not an adult tooth if not I'd be scared for you lol. x_x It's best to get the dentist to yank out the tooth for you. They have special equipment for that. Also, just because you didn't get anything bad from your previous experiences with pulling out teeth doesn't mean you're immune to infections and such... Well, good luck on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorse Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 It sounds like it's positioned exactly like a molar I had to get pulled. Turns out it was like a suction cup on the gum (even with the other tooth coming in) and all my orthodontist had to do is take a pair of pliers and get it off... no problem, no medication, and no pain... after months of me trying to pull it out on my own. I thought it was half attached but it was actually all the way out, just stuck. So hopefully yours is just like that. Really the only thing you can do is try to keep pulling but if it's suction cupped like mine was then it's probably not going to come out without the help of a dentist. Otherwise just keep trying to pull it out but don't hurt yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poisonouschicken Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 If it's not a baby tooth it's probably best to go to a professional. I had to get 4 teeth removed and while it didn't really hurt, it was really uncomfortable hearing bits of your skull being removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secres91 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 This is such a nice guide. Thanks for the details. Well, at this moment I am quite interested in the dental whitening treatment so that can have my headshots for modeling portfolio. I was just wondering if anyone here knows about a good Torrance dentist for the cosmetic treatments!
