...see if you can learn to pull your own teeth. It takes some determination and ability, but I have pulled two of my own, to date. You have to wait until they become dislodged or broken free from the jaw and socket, which means the nerve is basically dead. Only gum tissue holds the tooth in place once it gets to that point. There is some minimal pain. Place a cotton ball in the socket after removal to assist clotting. Hopefully, the socket will not have any residue or fragments, which might hamper healing...........Happy Thanksgiving!!
