Need advice on what is the the best way to pull out a tooth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pull tooth: See your dentist! self treatment attempts, particularly in operations in the mouth are fraught with hazards you might not appreciate. What if you become infected? What if you damage a nerve or other structure? What if you lose the tooth down your throat--or worse yet, aspirate it in your airway? While "it's just a tooth" seems so simple, things like this could be a disaster!
