i know its not wise to do but whats the best way..?

Question

.. to remove a tooth without going to the dentist?

Answer 1

Sorry, it's not advisable. You don't know that it will come out safely, there could be excessive bleeding and complications such as infection.

If you're in a lot of pain, Pour gin or other spirit onto a piece of cotton wool and hold it against the area which should help to numb it then I think, if money is a problem, go to your local hospital.

Best wishes

Answer 2

Try doing hard drugs. Crank, crack, meth. Every hard drug addict I have seen is missing some or all of their teeth. LOL

Just kidding. Go to the dentist. Really. At least when they do it they will kill the pain for you. I know that going to the dentist is a rough thing for most of us. (I have to be drug into a dentist office and even cleanings are too much for me.)

If you have a tooth ache then deal with the pain until monday morning and head to a dentist. Take a couple ibuporfen, to help with any swelling and help with the pain. Take a drink of milk and hold it in your mouth for a while, it helps with the pain. Kanka is a great pain killer that is OTC. I would skip the orajel stuff, I have used everything and it just doesn't seem to help. Also if you feel like you are suffering beyond normal you can get baby asprin in the pill form. The chewable kind, and put one right on the tooth that hurts. I have had a few dentists tell me to do that one. I would lay off the really cold and super hot stuff and ice and very sugary stuff. I know that is hard but it will save you a little pain. Having dealt with a great deal of pain in the mouth (4 wisdom teeth pulled and 22 fillings in a one week period, doc was nice enough to give me zanax for a little while). Take a nap, take a bath, don't grit your teeth and relax. I think that if you check out the local walmart or pharmacy you might find and wax that you can cover your tooth in or a temp filling material you can use. Hope this helped out a little bit. Good luck.

Answer 3

I'm a dentist.

First and foremost, some idiot above me (Lilly) suggested that you call a dentist's office and ask for the price of an extraction without x-rays. Don't even bother trying. No dentist will remove a tooth without proper x-rays. It's not only illegal, it's stupid.

Let me make something clear to you (and to all the other dumbells out there who have such designs of removing their own teeth).

Don't do it. It is possible for you to break the tooth off, leaving a piece of the root in the socket which can become infected AND require surgery in order to remove (when I say surgery, I mean cutting the gum and drilling away bone in order to get to the root), which often results in an even greater cosmetic defect not to mention pain.

Your dentist uses sterile intstruments. I'm certain that nothing you have at home is properly sterilized, hence you are exposing yourself to all sorts of infectious materials (in addition to the ones that normally exist in your mouth). The significance of this? Well, if you take out your own tooth and develop an infection, chances are your dentist will place you on Penicillin, thinking that the infection is due to oral bacteria. The Penicillin may not work, and the infection will continue to grow until it gets big enough for the doctor to have to run a culture/sensitivity test on it in order to find out what bacteria is causing the infection. Sometimes the infection gets big enough quickly enough to require a trip to the emergency room, admission into the hospital, and a trip to the operating room with an oral surgeon to drain the infection.

So, does pulling out your own tooth still sound like a good idea to you, just to save a couple hundred dollars?

Answer 4

You mean, removing a baby tooth that is about to fall out, or actually removing a permanent tooth that isn't loose? One way is to just yank it right out with a paper towel. Another thing to do is tie a string around it and attach it to the door knob and then slam the door shut. These obviously only work when you have loose baby teeth, because if you are trying to get rid of a permanent tooth you definitely wouldn't do that yourself.

Answer 5

good luck.... it depends on the state of the tooth in question.
if it is loose, you may have a shot. But particularly if there is any decay the tooth will likely break when you attempt the pull

Most dentists don't charge too much for a "normal" extraction...{not wisdom tooth}. Probably could have the pro's do it for 100$ or less depending where you live

Answer 6

Get far enough away so that the general public won't hear you screaming.
Then get some plyers and pull and twist.

OR-- you could CALL ALL the dentist in your phone book and ask how much just for an extraction, no x-rays. YOU will be surpirsed when you call around to different dentist and see how much it cost.
It might only cost $100.oo who knows!--- depends if you are rural or in a big expensive city!

AND if it's infected, you will need anti-botics!

It's only $110-200 in the Los Angeles area.

YOU can always try Mexico or Canada!

Answer 7

If it's a baby tooth, then you should just constantly keep pulling it every day. If it's an adult tooth, go to the dentist. There is no other solution, sorry.

Answer 8

A pair of pliers and an enemy,, or maybe a very good friend who hates seeing you in pain, or maybe a trip to the dentist you tight wad it only costs £40 for a tooth out.

Answer 9

Tie a piece of string around the tooth, attach the other end to a door handle and slam the door.
Hey presto!

Answer 10

IN THE OLDEN DAYS THEY TOOK A FEW SHOTS OF WHISKEY AND TOOK PLIERS AND JERKED IT OUT. CALL A DENTIST OR TWO OR THREE AND GET SOME OPINIONS FOR FREE DENTAL CARE. THE BEST METHOD WOULD BE TO SEE A DENTIST BECAUSE IF YOU DID IT YOURSELF AND THERE WAS A BLEEDING PROBLEM OR FRAGMENT LEFT BEHIND PROBLEM ETC. IT WOULD BE MOST DIFFICULT TO ATTEND TO THIS YOURSELF. CALL A LOCAL DENTAL SCHOOL WHERE THEY TRAIN NEW DENTISTS - - - - - - - THEY'LL DO IT FOR FREE.
