It's pretty wobbly and it's next to my 2 big front teeth. I have a lot of teeth missing already and this one is hurting a lot. I don't think 1 more missing will matter that much. I just want to know a way to do it without it hurting any more than it already does.

It's really loose. I can tilt it every which way with my fingers and it hurts just dangling there.I'm already missing 11 teeth. I don't think 1 more matters that much. I just wanna yank it out so it will stop hurting.

Don't think that one won't make a difference, because it will. Get to a dentist, and if you can't afford one, check into a clinic.

Oh honey ....NO!!!!!!!!
#1: why is it wobbly ...did you hit it, or is it due to the cavity or decay? But ,no matter what the reason, yes ....one more missing tooth DOES make a difference....very much... Your teeth ...each one, is there to perform a certain function and you need to make sure you can't save it ......at the dentist.
#2: if it must be removed, due to your detist saying he can't save it, or if your parent's can't pay for it to be fixed..... you need to have it done....removed.... by a dentist....there are roots and nerves involved in the tooth, and you could get started and not be able to finish.......and it may be dangling by roots.....you can cause serious pain even in your chin ...if you screw up something while pulling it out of the gumline.....or leave part of the tooth in there and that can cause a nasty infection............please see your dentist.....Are you sure all these teeth you are missing are ADULT teeth? My 12 year old son is still set to lose some baby teeth he still has....he was convinced he'd got all of his adult teeth....until his next dentist visit.... and they showed him his mouth xrays with new teeth getting ready to pop through the gumline...I kow bad teeth or cavities hurt...ask an adult to let you take some Tylenol or Advil till you can get to the dentist and get it drilled and filled.......that's what they do...is help you save the tooth....yes they are expensive.....but it might just be a baby tooth that he can just pull out for you if it's decayed. or it could be an adult tooth that only needs a small ...less expensive... filling. It will hurt if you try to yank it out......it might be infected...which most dentists will want you to take an antibiotic before they pull it................don't listen to the dork that said a pint of beer and pliers....you are too youg to drink....and you cannot pull it with a pair of pliers.....even if you tried to ...the tooth sounds weak and it'll break possibly and you'll be left with the base of the tooth in the gumline and have to have surgery to get it out. And i bet it is infected....please go to a dental clinic...or the nearest children's hospital emergecy room that has a dentist on call.....they have to help you whether your parents can pay or not.....where are your parents ...I feel so sorry for you going through this and having to ask strangers on the internet what to do.. Call 911 if you have to, and tell them when they arrive you are in MISERY!!!!!!
Good Luck sweetie....I feel for you. I'm experienced with teeth issues.

NO!!!!!! Most people only get one set of adult teeth and you are only 12. You need to be seen by a dentist ASAP. If you don't have dental insurance; or the funds to take care of it - seek out a dental clinic for the indigent. It is extremely important that you save your adult teeth.
Many people assume they can just replace their teeth with dentures; what they don't realize is that dentures take their toll on your gums and if you start wearing dentures at an early age, you may not have a dental ridge left to hold false teeth by the time you're 50. Then what? Are you going to spend the next 25 years with no teeth?
Also, the state of your dental health affects the health of your entire body. Please see a licensed dentist ASAP.

Yeah, if it's really loose you can get it out with string and give it a quick jerk or slam the door with it tied to the knob. I took a couple of mine out that way when they were really loose. I had gum problems that made my teeth loose tho and I lost quite afew before I had them all pulled out. Hope that's not happening to you already at 12 years old. You're pretty young to be havin no teeth, but then I'm only 16.

Don't pull it out yourself! Go to a dentist. It will hurt a lot more if you pull it out yourself than now. You will also bleed a lot. It is because your nerves and blood vessels are still conneted to that tooth. Try to brush better too, it will help you from having any more of your teeth start to rot until you go to a dentist.

Where's your parent's !?! They should be knowing this about your teeth and making appointments for you every year for check-ups! If you were seeing a dentist every year, you wouldn't be having these problems because they would have found it early. Definitely don't pull it out!!!! It can be saved in most cases depending on why it's loose. Please alert your parents to this problem. You shouldn't have to ask a website for help if you have parents to care for you. If your parents don't care, tell your school nurse for help. Good Luck!!

You need to see a dentist and get all of your teeth checked. Your teeth should not be rotting when you are only 12. Something is going on so see your dentist ASAP and get your teeth checked out.

SUZIE,
THE IDEAOF PULLING YOUR OWN TOOTH MIGHT SOUND GOOD TO YOU. BUT THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA. LET THE DENTIST TO THE JOB AND DO IT RIGHT.
ps only baby teeth come out with a string and door, lol

yeah, dental floss & doorknob works.like Dr.Pepper says, hell pull 'em all, then you won't have no more problems with bad teeth. I use to have bad teeth too but I got rid of all of mine and I'm glad I did.

Definitely take him to the vet! He really needs someone to take a look at that! Have you noticed anything different other than just the drooling and bad odor? Like his attitude or actions?
