Dentist are wanting an exam fee, xrays and then of course the tooth extraction fee. Frankly I just dont have the money to
get the job done.

What do you recommend to do the job? What sort of force does it take to pull the tooth? At this point the tooth is not loose...I
figure its going to need some side to side pushing to help first loosen it up.
I figure the worst that could happen is that I could crush all of the tooth and then have nothing to grab onto.

Please help!
go to hospital,tell them your in pain,and broke?

Its a wisdom tooth that did not require extraction when I was younger so its a little thick to use a needle nose. I do
have around 10 different styles of pliers though.. I have a few in mind that could grab the tooth ok.

I had my wisdom teeth removed a month ago. The dentist had to break the teeth in 2 or 3, then removed every part of it one byt one (he pulled really hard with both hands to remove them... I thought my jaw was gonna break!!) Then, even though he sewed the wound, it bled for an hour.

Do yourself a favor, DON'T remove it by yourself!!!!

That's a really good idea. My girlfriend had her 4 teeth removed at university, and they charged only 1/4 of the regular price. If you can't afford that, you don't put your priorities at the right places...

I assembled the kit myself, those store bought kits arn't worth dung, Morphine was percribed by a doctor filled by a pharmacist. I get an new one about every 6 months cuz it expires in the heat. Both are family members which makes it a little easier.

Your to funny, dumbass. Before the 70's midwives and home births were very common. Grow a sense of history and learn why medical costs are as high as they are we live in a nation of hypochondriacs who need a doctor whenever they get a splinter then sue cuz it hurts.. Call your mommy and ask her.

I've gotta say -- this is the funniest thread eva.

A man takes his own tooth out on a general hardware board cause he is too cheap to pay a dentist.

TOO FUNNY! And then a guy says that he has stored up illegallly obtained morphine and would put stitches in his own kids...

OMG! This is wayy too funny. You guys are wayy to crazy.

Is there anyway of storing this thread?

Between the crazy people and the pictures of the tooth, i have been laughing out loud for the last hour.

BTW, I'd never do such a thing as remove my own tooth.. and I am going into surgery residency..

Wow a real license?!? Can I get an 'ooooo ahhhhh'? Why should I show you my tooth? $20 Paypal will get you an exclusive viewing of the
tooth along with some backyard denstrity techniques that I have taught myself.

If you've got means spend the money to see a dentist for a proper extraction. If not go to the ER, so someone can assess you possible infection/abscess and provide antibiotics. Regardless, DO NOT put a nonsterile implement in your mouth and remove the tooth. The nasty flora of your mouth is bad enough but why compound your risk by putting pliers in there?!

If you go to the ER definitely go between 9AM and 3PM . . . otherwise the odds of getting a dental consult are essentially nil.
