you can do WAAY more harm trying to pull it outyourself, including hurting your nerves and other teeth. It's insanity that you think you can just knock it out yourself and everything will be ok. check in your area for a dental clinic. They often have something like that for those that can't afford to go to the dentist. Do you have regular health insurance? If so, and you have a medical reason for needing the tooth out, they'll probably end up covering the cost.

Ouch. I am in the same excruciating pain right now. I don't wish this pain upon my worst enemy. Yesterday I notice mild pain when I moved my jaw. I thought it was because I was chewing gum too much. By the end of the day, I was in pain wishing I had some navacain. I tried popping some Excedrin. That helped subdue the pain for a short period. I also got a cup of hot water with salt and swished it around my mouth, spit, and repeat. About 30 minutes of doing that, the painful area become some what numb. I also found some oragel. I gooped a bunch on my wisdom tooth and gums.
It is sad that America has such a hard time with dental care. Many Americans suffer because they cannot afford to see a dentist, not to mention many children who go unseen. Where are you located at? In your search engine, type "low income dental assistance". I hope you can find a church or organization that can assist you with the costs that incure with this procedure. I have insurance but I don't think I can afford treatment. Sad. All the money I spend with Cigna and can't get jack done for a reasonable price.
Good luck. Try what I told you. Hopefully, the infection will subside and the pain will go away. I hope this buys you time until you are able to go to the Dentist. Best of luck.

You can't make it loose. Yes, you can call the dentist to work out a payment plan. $20 a week?
Is it fully out? If not, it may be impacted.
It may be infected and you need to be put on antibiotics, before anything can be done with it.
Put a warm wash cloth on your cheek to relieve some of the pain and Tylenol.
Wisdom teeth are not baby teeth. That is a permanent tooth. How old are you? You sure you have the correct tooth?

How old are you? If you are a teen or older it is not a baby tooth. Wisdom teeth only come in once. Anyway you need to go to the dentist and have them look at it or remove it. The longer you wait the more it may hurt and more damage you can cause.
For the mean time you can use a ice pack or take medicine to help the pain.

If it is a wisdom tooth I am sorry, but it needs to be removed by a professional. You might have it infected, and that means
antibiotics from a professional. I don't think wisdom teeth are like regular teeth they need to be surgically removed.

there is nothing that you can do to loosen it yourself, especially if it's a wisdom tooth, you just have to let it be. take tylenol or advil to help with pain until you can afford to see a dentist

The teeth are the hardest substances in the human body. Besides being essential for chewing, the teeth play an important role in speech.

Bend it as far as it goes back, then far as it goes forward ,, then twist it to the right as far, twist it to the left as far, it should come right out , do it fast so it wont hurt!
p.s. when your doing all that ^^ hold the tooth with pressure.
