How To Take Out Loosely Hanging Baby Molar?

Hi, my 12 year old son has a baby molar hanging by what looks like a root, it bled quite heavily after he'd eaten on it and it became very loose. He's quite distressed by it as it's hanging and no amount of gentle twisting will get it to come lose. Do you have any advice?
