Pulling a tooth?

i have a tooth, a top tooth, that is very loose. i want to try to pull it myself instead of going to the dentist because it doesnt hurt at all.....my question is, does anyone know how to properly pull a tooth? do you try to pull it out by pulling straight down, or to one side or the other?


thanks

Pulling a tooth?
Pulling your own adult teeth fits right in there with do it yourself appendectomies. It's not as straightforward as you might like to think. Teeth are extensions of the bone of your jaw. Pulling one creates a gap in the bone, much the same as if you made a hole that size in a bone in your arm or leg. Teeth have a blood supply, and the entire area is very well wired with nerves, veins and arteries. While the tooth itself may not hurt, the gums and jaw will complain. And should you start to bleed uncontrollably, do you have a backup plan to stop that? And just in case you don't get it all intact- roots and all, then what? How do you plan to prevent an infection setting in? The mouth is an incredibly dirty place, and the bacteria will love infesting an open wound. From your mouth to your brain- in a short time. Think this one out a little more, and then go see the dentist if you really think it needs to go. Let a professional with the proper tools and training do the job, and find something else to do with your energy.
Reply:I can't tell you the best way to pull your tooth yourself but please remember when you pull it out to put it under your pillow for the tooth fairy. I used to get a dime from her years ago.
Reply:Not sure if there is a science for this but eating apples and other harder fruits help to bring the tooth right out!
Reply:Try to rotate lt. but don`t pull on lt to hard and lf lt won`t come out then take a piece of kleenex and see lf you can get that tooth out but when you go to bed don`t lay on your back in case you end up swallowing your tooth. you can choke yourself really bad. lay on your stomach instead,,

the dentist numbed my mouth sooo much.


i was terrified, but the nurse there comforted me.

Reply:You really ought to go to a dentist for this... there could already be nerve damage since it doesn't hurt... plus you need to consider if you do pull it you could get an infection in it and you would need antibiotics... you could damage the bone.. break a root off.. there is so many complications you really ought to see a dentist... sorry i know this isn't the answer you wanted...
