Thanks Donna...................
No I don't know if you replied before my last post was posted but I'll
copy it,

But Good news **I hope** last night over night I woke up about 3 AM
and felt the tooth "Pop Out", and I spit it out.
I didn't have any bleeding and there is no pain (was not really in
pain before either) So I am hopping everything will be OK.
Thanks Tony

I can completely understand your situation. There are ligaments and tissue
also holding your tooth in place. If I were you I would check into a school
Our Technical college has a dental assisting and dental hygiene program so
there are DDS's there to do the work. It costs about 40% less than a private
practice. There may be a dental school around where you live. I would worry
about getting an infection. with it wiggling around there may be space for
stuff to get packed into the gums and cause a problem. Good luck DB

No they were 100 miles away,
But Good news **I hope** last night over night I woke up about 3 AM
and felt the tooth "Pop Out", and I spit it out.

Thanks "C"
Well we have the West Liberty State College that has such a
clinic,but they only provide preventive dental hygiene services. They
do not provide dental services, such as an extraction. They told me I
may want to contact WVU Dental School at 304-293-2521.
But that is a good 100 miles from me,in Morgantown WV.
I am in the Wheeling WV area.
Maybe they can provide a closer clinic of some sort.
I'll let you know.
Thanks, Tony

Tony,

I would never recommend doing your own dental work. There are a lot
of possible complications. I know money is an issue for you, so I
have an alternate suggestion.

Depending on where you live there are sometimes low cost/no cost
clinics you can go to for basic dental services like extractions. I
used to volunteer at two of them in the Tidewater Virginia area, the
Chesapeake Dental Clinic and the American Red Cross. What I first
would do is just try a google search. If that doesn't work, then I'd
call the state dental society and ask where the clinics are.

Don't despair, there is help out the for you. You just have to find
it.

Good Luck,

C

Default Pulling a very loose wisdom tooth

Hi, serious question.
I am out of work right now and don't have my dental discount plan any
more,due to loosing my job.
Besides,my regular dentist is always so booked up,it can take up to 2
months to get in.
This tooth is driving me crazy,it is so loose.
** It is a wisdom tooth right side,upper.**
It don't really hurt, it's just super loose.I can move it up and down
a little bit,and can almost move it 90 degrees from vertical.
It seems I should be able to just pull it,(a friend told me she pulled
her very loose wisdom tooth once) but it don't seem to want to come
out.
I guess I'm afraid to pull too hard, as I don't know what all is
holding it in. Or if it's this loose, could it fall out on it's own?
Is it possible to pull it myself somehow,or should I try to get the
money up to have it pulled.
I really don't have any income right now, and wont get a unemployment
check for about another month.
Please advise.
Like I said,this is a serious question,I only repeat this because I
know sometimes kids or adults with too much time on there hands write
to news groups just to play games,but I assure you I have better
things to do.
Thanks,
Tony.
