Would this be a bad idea?!
Question:
Would this be a bad idea?
I have been having severe tooth pain for several days now. I haven't eaten or slept very well since it started. my face is swollen and ora-gel isn't working at all. I put my fingers on the tooth and it moves slightly side to side. Would it be bad to take some needle-nose pliers and pull it out? I'm 37 years old and have never had problems with my teeth before. Would I be able to stop the bleeding myself? (no health or dental insurance!!!)
Answers:
Some Dr. Offices will take payments for service. And it sounds to me that you already have an infection (because of the swelling) and how are you going to kill that when pulling your own tooth. Listen put the pliers down and get to the denist.
