get some Oragel, the kind that numbs up the gums when a baby is teething. Using a cotton tipped applicator, apply a generous amount all around the tooth on the gums. Wiggle the tooth a little, and spread it under the loose areas. After about 5 minutes that will help to alleviate the pain and you should be able to get it out, just be sure to wrap some tissue around your fingers so they don't slip. Give a good hard yank and it should come out on the first try. Otherwise, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle and it should gradually loosen up.

Drink a milkshake, Slurpee or Ice-ee with the straw right near your loose tooth. When you are done and the area is really cold, just grab it with your fingernails down by the gum and GO FOR IT!

I you are too afraid to remove it yourself, Your PARENTS need to take you into your dentist where they can apply a little local anaesthetic to the gum area. They can also use a Topical gel, so it should be painless. Either way that tooth needs to come out.
(Anaesthetic is sometimes known as " freezing" and topical gel will numb your gums.)
Talk to your parents hon. Good luck!!!

Just keep wiggling it with your tongue throughout the day, it'll come out. Eeek... I remember losing teeth, gosh that hurt. I was always too scared to pull it out or bite into something and knock it out!! O.O
Good luck!

you can either suck it up and figure out another way to temporarily eat...like chew on the opposite side or something..or you can pull it...if you don't want to pull it..i'm sure your dentist wouldn't mind pulling it..the pain isn't that bad...
