Does anyone have any ideas on how to pull your own teeth? ouch?

I know that sounds crazy, but can it really be done? I have a very high tolerance to pain, but I can't afford to have 3 teeth pulled. Any ideas? and hold the sarcasm please ... I'm in a bind here. :) thanks

I very seriously recommend talking to a dentist.


You can cause long term damage to yourself. (Damages to your sinus cavity, nerves running through the jaw, breakage of bone around the tooth itself, and infection, just to name a few)





Chances are, a dentist can work out a payment schedule with you.

Call a couple of dentists and tell them about your situation. They will give you referals to low cost or even free places. Get on the phone.
Reply:Yes, it is possible. (But requires alcohol) If the tooth is semi loose, you need to take a shot of whisky and try and hold as much as you can in to sterilize for when you yank out the tooth. Get some pliers and hold on tight and yank. It may take a few tries. Please do not try this on your wisdom teeth... It only works incisor through molar.
Reply:I would advise you against this.. If there's a dental school near you, I've heard that dental students will do work cheap or even free. If money is really a problem, I'd consider that over pulling them yourself.
Reply:I wouldn't recommend it. There are so many bacterias and infections that can be associated with a tooth being pulled, even when a dentist does it. If you take that chance a get a bad infection it may end up costing you alot more that to have them professionally pulled. Good Luck!
Reply:A dentist could pull his own tooth, but he has the tools and knows how to do it. I doubt that you could pull your own tooth, but if you did,you probably would do alot of damage to the bone and gums near that tooth. If you got 1 tooth out there maybe someone at the emergency room who can extract the other 2.
Reply:are you kidding me?dont even think about doing that. if yoiu are in a major city, go to the medical center school, and they may be able to hook you up cheaply. btw, thanks for the berry in the ice cube trick. guaranteed, huh? if it works, ill pull them for you.
