Online Dental Insurance, Pulling a baby tooth.
Question: I have a baby tooth that is wobbly and is only hanging on. My gum is red in that area and I have been trying to pull the tooth out but it hurts. How can I pull this tooth out?
Answer: Normally baby teeth will come out on their own when the adult tooth behind it pushes it out. However sometimes the tooth root may have a bur/hook on it keeping if from coming out easily. You may want to see a dentist to have him or her pull the baby tooth out. Which they can do causing little pain to you. Also another benefit is that the dentist will be able to make sure there are no other dental issues that need to be addressed.
