Question:
How do I pull a tooth? Help!?
I need to get 9 teeth pulled for braces, but most of those are baby teeth. If I lose them before I get my teeth pulled I only need the permanent ones pulled. How can I pull them?
Answers:
OK, so my guess is that four of the teeth that need to be removed are adult teeth (bicuspids) and the other five are the baby teeth that you want to pull yourself, right?
If the baby teeth are loose, and the roots are resorbing, it shouldn't be too difficult for you. Sticky foods/candy are a good idea, wiggling them to help them along is also recommended.
If they can't (or won't) come out before your dental visit, it won't be a big deal for you if the dentist pulls them when he takes out the other ones... they're probably right next to them and will come out quickly.
Good Luck!
