Tips for pulling out my own tooth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't!: Don't even try it. You probably won't be able to. You run the risk of serious bleeding, unbearable pain, spread of infection, etc. You certainly won't know for sure if you removed the entire tooth. Dentists train for years and have years of experience, and that is for a very important reason. I would guess that you also have other teeth with serious dental problems. See a dentist, please!
