If you have a dead tooth, or one that is riddled with cavities, the best thing you can do is to get it removed as soon as possible, to avoid the chance of pain and infection. Obviously the best way to do this is to visit the dentist, but if you have financial issues or a phobia of those white coats and drills then you might wish to look at doing this at home.<\/p>\n

How to get a tooth out fast and painless, if you have no access to a dentist? We\u2019re here to tell you how!<\/p>\n

How Do You Pull A Tooth Out At Home?<\/h2>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

If you have a loose tooth as an adult, this is far more worrying than when you were a child an experiencing your first wobbly tooth.<\/p>\n

If you desperately need a tooth pulled out out, then go to your dentist! If this is not an option for you for whatever reason, then there are things you can do:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Wiggle the tooth.<\/strong> Putting constant pressure on it and moving it about in its socket will help to loosen the tooth.<\/li>\n
  2. Brush and floss.<\/strong> The action of the brushing and flossing will help the tooth to become looser, especially if you brush with an up and down motion.<\/li>\n
  3. Use a wet wash cloth.<\/strong> Gripping the tooth using a wet cloth or medicinal gauze will allow you to get a better grip on it.<\/li>\n
  4. Twist the tooth.<\/strong> This motion will help to loosen the tooth, especially if it is not responding to being pulled downwards.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How Bad Does It Hurt To Pull A Tooth At Home?<\/h2>\n

    The amount of pain you experience will depend on the health of the tooth you are trying to pull out.<\/p>\n

    If you are attempting to remove a perfectly healthy tooth, first of all, don\u2019t! There is no need, and this will cause you a lot of pain.<\/p>\n

    A tooth that is already loose, or infected, will be easier to pull than a healthy one – but this is still undoubtedly a painful procedure.<\/p>\n

    If you are suffering with a tooth that needs to be removed, the best thing you can do is to visit your dentist.<\/p>\n

    A dentist will apply numbing gel, or in some cases inject the area with local anaesthetic, to prevent pain while the tooth is being pulled out.<\/p>\n

    If you absolutely HAVE to pull out a tooth at home, there is not much you can do to numb the pain.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Using ice<\/strong> around the area can help a little, as the cold will numb the area somewhat – however applying the ice can be painful in itself.<\/li>\n
    • You can, if you are old enough, try drinking alcohol<\/strong> – this is well known to dull the senses. However, it comes with its own health risks, and we wouldn\u2019t recommend it.<\/li>\n
    • Numbing gel<\/strong>, like that used for teething children, can help a little, but it is not particularly strong, and you may have to use a lot of it to notice any difference.<\/li>\n
    • A good natural numbing agent is clove oil<\/strong> – this has been used for dental pain for centuries. It can numb the area for long enough to allow you to remove the offending tooth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      There is not a lot that can remove the pain of pulling a tooth, so we really would recommend that you visit a dentist as soon as you can!<\/p>\n
