You're not serious about pulling it yourself? Root canal does not hurt like it use to. Just takes a while.
I've had a couple. If your teeth tend to decay fast, do insist the dentist pull it.
Root canal does not kill the nerve. My dentist got a little too close to my nerve as he was "tunneling" out the decay but he had to. I got it crowned and it's the best tooth in my head!
It will be worth the price to get a root canal. If you feel you can't afford it, tell your dentist so and he will pull it.
Don't wait too long, I had three babies and none hurt as bad as a toothache does especially if the nerve is exposed.

dont pull it out yourself, the nerves can be exposed and you can have worse pain than your already in if u expose that root by pulling it yourself. A root canal is a little painful. Some people say it is not, but for me it was incredible pain.I was pregnant at the time and wasnt able to be put to sleep though. I am not trying to scare you though. A root canal just saves your tooth from being pulled and it only spares the tooth for a little bit. It will eventually need to be pulled out anyways. it wuld be cheaper and more easier for you if you have the dentist pull it, but if it is a tooth people can see a root canal would be the best route to take for now. Hoep i helped a little

Noo!!!
During a root canal, they do not pull out your tooth! They destroy the nerve so that the tooth is basically dead, but they restore it with a crown.
DO NOT ever try to pull out your own teeth or perform any job that is initially intended for a doctor or dentist to do!
Trust me you will regret it. Just go to the appointment for a root canal. It is pain-free and is only about an hour long. You'll be fine.
Good luck

you can't pull your teeth all by yourself... you need the dentist knowledge and expertise... that why they're there.....
a root canal is not that painful..... you'll be sedated or under local anesthesia before the dentist start performing the procedure. sure it does take a while, but the results are better than if you have your tooth pulled/extracted.

GOD NO!
LOL
What are you thinking???????? You could do so much damage to yourself I don't even know where to begin! Let's start with the fact that you can cause your face/mouth to become paralyed if you damage one of the nerves while trying to yank it out! Or if it's infected, you could easily break off the roots to the tooth and leave them in your jaw where the infection can spread and kill you! LET A DENTIST DO IT!

How do you know you need one. If a dentist told you he would of said it could be pulled but probably the tooth was worth saving.
......Doing it yourself........... what other surgeries would you do yourself. See how stupid it sounds. Let the experts handle it.

CAN YOU EXTRACT THIS YOURSELF? I KNOW YOU CAN'T, UNLESS IT'S A BABY TOOTH.
SEE A DENTIST AND HAVE IT TAKEN CARE OF.
