Extremely Loose Molar Tooth, Painful. How Can I Painlessly Remove It?

I have a loose tooth that is so loose that it can bend straight forward flat. It is a molar and is attached to a slightly thick piece of my gums. It really annoys me because it hurts and i cant chew food on it. I also cant chew food on the other side of my mouth because i keep biting on the edge of the tooth since it keeps moving. The tooth has been like this for about 2 days. i can twist it into a 180 degree turn but after that it begins to hurt. How can i remove the tooth? Should i try the floss trick? I'm kind of a wimp to pain so i would prefer it be not very painful.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Teeth are for dentists to remove and certainly not a do it yourself idea.

I suggest you to consult your nearest dentist and get your tooth removed in the most painless and technically appropriate manner possible.

Removing teeth by yourself can cause infection and weaken the adjacent teeth.

Hope this helps.

hi

as you have loose tooth, you wont get any problem while extraction... visit your dentist... he will apply local anesthetic (LA) gel and will inject LA solution intraorally and will extract your tooth...

please don't try it doing yourself as it can cause infection...

just go and get rid of loosened tooth and pain...

take care...

THANKS FOR THE QUESTION IN HCM FORUM, WHATEVER LOOSE YOUR TOOTH IS, THE EXTRACTION MUST BE DONE BY A DENTIST. IF IT IS REALLY LOOSE THE DENTIST CAN THE REMOVE THIS TOOTH UNDER TOPICAL ANESTHESIA, BUT DO NOT TRY IT IN HOME. THE WOUND MAY GET INFECTED AND WILL CAUSE YOU MORE SUFFERING.

Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

Since you have to get your mobile teeth removed,please do visit a dentist and get the treatment done.

I would advice you not to go for self -treatment.

Take analgesics as well as antibiotics to relieve underlying infection.

Take care.

Hi
As your tooth is so mobile, you should visit a dentist. If it comes out on its own then fine but do not try to pull it.
After extraction ,you have to follow antibiotic prescription. So better not do it by yourself. Better have the things done under your dentist's guidance.
Take care
