My 9 yr old son will not pull the loose tooth...?!
Question:
My 9 yr old son will not pull the loose tooth...?
My 9 yr old son will not pull his loose tooth in his mouth! It is just hanging by a thread and looks disgusting. I can't pull it out because I do not want to hurt him and he is willing to go around with a tooth that swings in his mouth. What should I do?
Answers:
Just let him get it out on his own. He will undoubtedly use his tongue to probe. If he pulls it out and there is too much gum tissue attached to the tooth, he could tear the gum tissue and cause lots of bleeding. It will detach in good time.
