Can I pull out my own tooth?
Even if you can do it, pulling your own tooth is never a good idea. You could cause significant damage to your mouth and end up with more problems than the tooth caused. Whether your tooth is broken, infected, or simply loose, it's critical that you see a dentist for the extraction.
Is it painful to remove tooth?
Yes, getting a tooth pulled can hurt. However, your dentist will typically give you local anesthesia during the procedure to eliminate the pain. Also, following the procedure, dentists usually recommend over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription pain medication to help you manage the pain.
