If it's really loose you may be able to get it out with pliers, but you may knock the one above (or below) it out in the process. Or choke your self if it scares you when it pops out and you drop it down your throat. They are slippery little buggers! I would just go see your dentist to have it removed, you can tell them it's loose and see about payment plan, it's really your best bet for a painless removal. They may give you a discount if you tell them you went on line for advice about doing it yourself! It's worth a shot, you got me to laughing at the thought of it! Good luck and be careful if you do!

If it's a milk tooth, then no it wont hurt, how ever if it's an adult tooth it will probably hurt.
I would never advise anybody to administer diy dentistry on themselves no matter how loose a tooth is for the simple matter your not a trained dentist and could end up doing yourself more harm than good.
book an appointment to see your dentist or go to a dental training hospital.

not the best idea, but depending on how old you are. If it is a "baby" tooth, then go ahead and yank it out... they are meant to come out. But if you are ove rhte age of 10, there shoudl be no pliers near your mouth at all. You could severly damage your self, and not to mention that the nerves in your mouth are VERY sensitive. you could damage them and bleed alot. Contact your nearest clinic and ask about seeing a dentist. Often times the same dentists that you would pay $500 for a filling, volunteer their time at these clinics, so you get the same care for almost no money.

My big sister used dental floss and a toothbrush handle to take a couple of mine out when they were really loose. She made a loop and put one end around the loose tooth and the other end around the toothbrush handle and twisted it til it was real tight and gave a quick yank and they popped right out. It did hurt a little and bleed some, but it wasn't that bad cuz they were really loose. I didn't think it would work cuz they weren't baby teeth but it did.

Yes very painful and not very hygienic you could end up with an infection which will cost you even more in dentist bills. Why don't you ask your dentist if you can pay for your treatment in two payments they may let you.

yes very. unless its a first tooth coming out.
if you cant find a national health dentist, ring your local hospital, tell them you have an emergency dental situation, tell them you are in pain, they are obliged to put you in touch with a national health emergency dentist who will sort you out.
