How do you pull a tooth out yourself?

I'm a poor college student and can't afford to go to the dentist. I have a baby molar that never fell out because I never grew a tooth underneath. I got fillings put in it a couple of year...

I'm a poor college student and can't afford to go to the dentist. I have a baby molar that never fell out because I never grew a tooth underneath. I got fillings put in it a couple of years ago, and part of it fell out, now the whole tooth is rotting.

THanks.

Raheem	You grab on it try to get your nails up under it and 1....2....3....YANK the sucker out. Then Rinse your mouth out with salt water.

laura	keep twisting it around and it should eventually come loose

rustoria617	Tie sting to tooth and doorknob. Stand back and have your best friend slam the door. Works everytime!

rockyfella25	try twisting it and moving it back and forth and repeat it as much as you can take it..but becareful you don't break it off in pieces.

Rebecca	I had something like that when I was younger but I tried everything to get it out. I would suggest brushing vigorously for like half an hour and then try wiggling it out or tying a string to it.

YaHoO dUdE	wrap dental floss around it almost like you are going to tie a knot, but dont tie it, just criss cross it, and yank it hard and quick. if you chicken out and do it slow it is just going to hurt more. good luck

iheartLBC	get a string. tie one end to your tooth and the other on a door knob. stand away from the door and slam it.. viola!

mamamia*	eat an apple and bite into it real hard

Go Bears!	Some plyers and a bottle of rum.... Ouch!

♥Bri G♥	ok...i pulled all my teeth...and i'm not a teeth person.... i get a tis-sh-u and put it around my tooth and pull... i works like a charm...

Thor R	Don't!!

summer's ice	well you shouldnt have much feeling in it but just pull it like you would any other tooth good luck

A1vaRo	ewww that is nasty i would say use an ice skate and a rock enjoy hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!........

Jay-me	get string tie it to a door and pull it out. get pliars and pull it out yourself. or have people donate to you so you can go to the dentist. :] (just kiddin, hehe)

Tchelo	wrap a string around it , and wrap it to a door handle, then close the door really fast. PAIN!!!

Lycress	The string and doorknob works wel. But only on LOOSE teeth. I did it when I was younger. Its a bit gross and you might need to ask someone else to slam the door for you., but it works! but if you tooth isnt loose at all and is just rotting, then id say make a plan, bed your parentals, borrow money and rather go to the dentist.

Heidi B	ouch, not only would that hurt but it could cause damge to your gums, and jaw if not done right

btolliver04	you can go to the emerency room. as long as you have health care

TokyoGirl	Go to a local dentistry school. Lots of times they'll pull teeth for much less than other dentistry places since they are teaching. (The one by my work only charges $75 for any proceedure.) You can also check in with other dentist offices to check & see if there are any cheap places to go. Most of them would rather see you go somewhere else than see you harm yourself by either trying to remove it yourself or leaving it in. In the meantime you should skip on any & all sugary foods, brush, floss, & use an antiseptic Mouthwash. Save up your money for the procedure. If this means that you have to eat less & not purchase that new cd or movie or work that extra day then that's what you have to do. You don't want to mess with your teeth. I work at an ER & I see lots of people come in who have bad teeth & let it sit. It can turn into an abscess & actually hurt you badly. We refer people to our student dental clinic or to several places in the city that offer free or nearly free dental care. We also see lots of people who claim to not be able to afford dental care, yet come in wearing designer clothes and/or carrying expensive cell phones or equipment. Ask around for the money. Don't yank your own teeth.

Sourpatches S	i would tell your parents, uncle, aunt, grandma, friend, or someone else you need money to go to a dentist. They would probalbly give the money to you because if you pull it out wrong it could ruin your gums or tooth. The dentist would numb the area and use special plyers to pull it out just the right way. Then if there was no big tooth underneath they would make one for you. this procedure is done all the time and there is nothing to worry about. I bet SOMEONE you know whould be willing to pay for the dentist, or you can go to a special dentist that is free. I know there are a few in my area, i dont know about yours.

thefam_07	If your in college they should have some sort of discount or complete funding assistance for you. You need to call your township and check. Otherwise there are dentists that will work out a payment plan with you. I watched my tough father pull his own tooth out and he cried like he was passing kidney stones! Trust me you dont want to do it by yourself. If you insist, there is over the counter numbing liquid. the best one comes in the do it yourself filling kit at walgreens. it has a red cross on it and the liquid tastes and smells horrible. But thats the least of your concern if your pulling your own tooth

http://www.EmbassyRowDental.com	It is best to go to a dentist or dental school to have a tooth pulled. Dental schools have low prices with supervised care.

Kayye	You need to go to a dentist. If the tooth is rotting, and peices break off you will get extremely ill. Your campus will have some form of health care, and can direct you to places where you can get help at a lower cost or for free. For the future, there are many private companies that have affordable healthcare for students.

Nicolette	eeeewwww go to a clinic and tell them its a medical tooth emergency... or ask someone for money

Shell	Ouch, You can look into insurance offered to college students. And some areas have free or next to free dentel services. I think it would be dangerous to do it yourself. you might make things worse, or get an infection.

maggiejo717	You need to go to the dentist, you should not do it by yourself. Ask for some financial help...dont you have any insurance. The gov. should help with something like this.

baserunner316	according to the three stooges a string and a doorknob will take care of it.. but seriously go see the campus docs. they have to have this stuff included with your tuition.

honeybeth	Dont. If you value the rest of the teeth in your mouth find a dentist that will take small payments.

I'm with Stupid.	Please don't! You can go to the nearest public hospital and get it done for free. They will even help you get medical insurance. Check your school, there is also medical insurance especially for college kids. Good luck. In the mean time, put Clove (the spice) on it. It will take the pain away.

sarah jane	You don't- you could make the situation much worse. Call a dental college in your area- they usually will offer treatment much cheaper than a traditional dentist. Find the money to get this fixed somehow- if you don't, you are going to make yourself very sick.

Lily	In England if you cant afford dental treatment you can go to a Dental Teaching Hospital and get free treatment...I`m sure you will have something similar...otherwise good luck suppose a good pair of pliers is all you need.
