Pulling Your Baby’s BabyTooth

Do it! A hanging tooth needs to be removed. It’s probably not getting brushed, and the socket becomes a magnet for bacterial invasion.

Rock it out gently. Fold a clean square of tissue and grip the tooth firmly, but don’t force it.

Have a frozen juice bar handy. It works as a cold compress to control bleeding and swelling... as well as a spirit-lifting treat at the end of the operation.

Don’t use string! And don’t hesitate to call on us for professional assistance, especially if the tooth won’t come out easily.
