I'm 58 and i have a very loose molar on my right side and its hard to eat because its so loose...how do i go about pulling it out myself?

Pulling teeth: I would not try to pull it out yourself. Pulling adult teeth is harder than it looks, and the tooth is often broken in the process. It can leave a piece of the tooth or root left in the socket and you will likely end up at the dentist anyway.
