According to dentists, extraction of teeth is not something you can do on your own without going through the training process. In most cases they advise against removing the tooth on your own, letting it fall out on its own, or asking a dentist to do it. The extraction of teeth is definitely safer when going to the dentist because they have a team of well-trained staff, with specialized equipment to handle dental problems.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Tooth Extraction for Children

1. 

   To be natural. Most doctors and dentists advise parents not to do anything to speed up the loss of teeth. If the teeth are pulled out too early, it will be difficult to orient the posterior teeth at that location.

2. 

   
   
   Pay attention when your teeth become looser. You need to keep the tooth and the gums around it clean, so that no decay or infection is possible. If the tooth decay, you should take your baby to the clinic to have surgery to remove it.

3. 

   If you need an impact, you should only advise your baby to use his tongue while shaking the tooth. Not everyone allows their child to push their teeth with their tongue, otherwise they should guide the child if they want just Use your tongue to push your teeth. There are two reasons for this:
   • Shaking your teeth with your hand can introduce bacteria and dirt into your mouth, clearing the way for infection to occur. Active children should definitely not have good hand hygiene, so pushing their teeth with their hands will be a recipe for dental problems.
   • The tongue is softer than the teeth. For children, the risk of accidentally breaking a tooth prematurely with fingers is higher than for adults. Using your tongue to shake your teeth reduces this risk because the tongue cannot grip your teeth like fingers.

4. 

   
   
   If the new teeth are not in the correct position, you should send your baby to the dentist. The phenomenon of permanent teeth growing behind the baby teeth, sometimes called "shark" teeth, because two sets of teeth exist at the same time, is a common but reversible condition.The dentist only needs to remove the baby teeth to make room for the permanent teeth to move into the correct position, so this is not a complicated problem.

5. 

   
   
   If the baby lets the tooth fall out on its own, very little bleeding is required. When your baby tries to wait long enough for the baby teeth to automatically fall out (sometimes up to 2 or 3 months), there is very little bleeding when the tooth falls out.
   • If shaking or pulling the teeth is causing the bleeding a lot, you should not let the child continue to shake. Maybe the tooth is not about to be extracted, so leave it alone to avoid further deterioration.

6. 

   If the teeth are still loose without breaking after 2 to 3 months, you should take your baby to the dentist. They injected a local painkiller and spit it out with specialized tools.

7. 

   After the tooth falls out on its own, hold the gauze pad against the spot. Ask your baby to gently bite on the gauze. A blood clot begins to form where the tooth has just fallen.
   • If there is no blood clot in the socket, infection can occur. This condition is called dry cavities (cavities inflammation), and is accompanied by an unpleasant odor. Contact your dentist if you find that the blood clot is not forming.

Method 2 of 3: Tooth Extraction for Adults

1. 

   Find out why a tooth extraction is required. Adult teeth are supposed to last a lifetime if you take care of them. But if you do have to have a tooth removed, it could be for a variety of reasons:
   • Teeth grow too much. Your teeth are tight so there is no room for new teeth to squeeze in, leading to incorrect placement. If this is the case, the dentist is forced to remove the tooth.
   • Tooth decay or infection. If the tooth infection extends down to the pulp, your dentist will need to give you antibiotics, or even a root canal. If the root canal does not solve the problem, the next step is to remove the tooth.
   • For the benefit of the immune system. If you are undergoing an organ transplant or are applying chemotherapy, the risk of infection when a tooth goes wrong is also the reason for the doctor to need to extract it.
   • Periodontal disease. It is caused by an infection of the tissue and bone that surrounds the teeth, or underneath the teeth. If the dental disease has already eaten, the doctor will need to remove it.

2. 

   Go to the dental clinic.You should not try to have the teeth extracted yourself. It's best to let the dentist pull out the teeth instead of acting brave and doing it yourself. Besides safety, extraction at the dental office is much less painful.

3. 

   Have your dentist inject a local anesthetic to numb the tooth that needs to be extracted.

4. 

   Let the dentist pull the teeth. The dentist may have to separate part of the gums in order to reach the teeth. In severe cases they also have to remove the teeth into pieces.

5. 

   Allow blood to build up on the newly extracted tooth. A blood clot is a sign that the teeth and gums around it are in the healing process. Place a gauze pad on the newly extracted tooth and gently bite to keep it in place. If all goes well, then the blood clot is forming on the spot where the tooth was pulled.
   • If there is no blood clot in the socket, an infection can occur. This is called a dry cavity (cavity inflammation), and is accompanied by an unpleasant odor. Contact your dentist if you find that the blood clot is not forming.
   • If you want to reduce swelling, place an ice pack on the outside of your teeth, close to where the tooth was extracted. This reduces swelling while easing pain.

6. 

   In the days after the extraction you should pay attention not to the clot in order not to affect the wound healing process. You try:
   • Avoid spitting or rinsing vigorously. For 24 hours after tooth extraction, you must not drink water through a straw.
   • After 24 hours, rinse your mouth lightly with a salt water solution made from half a teaspoon of salt and 250 ml of warm water.
   • No smoking.
   • Eat soft and liquid foods for the first few days. Avoid hard foods that require a lot of chewing.
   • Floss your teeth with the floss and brush your teeth as usual, taking care not to floss or rub the place where the tooth was pulled.

Method 3 of 3: Home Extraction Method Not Medically Approved

1. 

   Use the gauze pad to gently shake the tooth. You take a small gauze wrap around the tooth to be extracted.
   • Gently shake your teeth back and forth, you must pay attention to do "gentle".
   • If there is a lot of bleeding, stop shaking. Heavy bleeding is a sign that the tooth is not about to be extracted.
   • Slowly lift the tooth but hold your hand firmly, continuing to pull until the ligaments connecting the teeth to the gums separate. If the pain is too painful or bleeding, then you should consider stopping.

2. 

   You can bite on the apple. Biting on an apple is a great way to pull teeth, especially for children. However, this method is only suitable for extraction of the front teeth, the inner teeth are not very effective. advertisement

Advice

• This works when the teeth are no longer anchored to the jawbone and only attached to the gums. The teeth can then move freely in almost any direction and cause pain.
• Slowly move the teeth in a circle.
• Contact your dentist to consider whether an extraction is necessary. If it is not absolutely necessary, do not try to spit.
• You can push your teeth, but don't push too hard!
• Do not try to pull the teeth because if you wait a little longer, the extraction will be less painful, in addition, it will not bleed much.
• Twist your teeth slowly and gently.
• If the teeth are sensitive, you should not remove them. Nerves are still connected at the root, so extraction can damage the nerve and cause infection.
• For children: If your child's teeth are still bleeding after rinsing, take them to the dentist.
• Push the tooth back, shake and twist if necessary. This can cause teeth to pop out pretty quickly!
• If the permanent teeth come out and push into the baby teeth, you should send the baby to the dental clinic. You need to remove that baby tooth.

Warning

• If you suspect an infection, see your dentist right away, as the untreated infection can develop into other more serious problems.
• Extraction is very different from caring for teeth that are broken or broken due to an accident, both with permanent and baby teeth. If your child's teeth have been damaged by an accident (such as a fall) and have been broken, do not follow these instructions.
• If you are an adult or a teenager and have teeth that want to fall out, you should see a dentist immediately. They can take care of any problem and also advise you on the risks of having the tooth extracted on their own.
