Take an ice cube, melt it in some water until it's thinned down. Then place it on the gum that holds the tooth until it's really cold. This will numb the gum and you can then give the tooth a quick twist and get it out with little pain. As an alternative, take a spoon and put the tip under the part of the tooth that lifts up and give it a quick tug after the gum is numbed. Good luck!!

HELLO KATIE,
JUST PLACE A PAPER TOWEL OR A HANDKIERCHIEF AROUND IT AND GIVE IT A FIRM TUG. THIS IS OF COURSE IF IT'S VERY LOOSE AND READY TO COME OUT. GOOD LUCK.
