Does anyone have any suggestions for self extraction of a chipped tooth?

I have to pull this tooth it hurts more and more and I think it might get infected. I have no money or insurance so I don't know what else to do. I tried to use plyers but its in there so tight. Should I cut through the gum and what can I use to prevent infection besides peroxide. And is there anything that could tenderize the gums so it might loosen up. It feels like I could crush it with the plyers and that would bad. Is there anyone out there that is not quite a dentist and needs some one to practice on? It hurts so bad I am thinking of getting myself convicted cause I think they might do it Im not sure. Its hard to concentrate and think logically right now but I am going crazy and I need to do something. What did people do before dentistry? Please punch me in the face lower left side knock my tooth out. Mental Dental caveman tooth extraction. I'll borrow money from the mob. What should I do cut the gum should I get drunk first then I will slip and cut my whole mouth open.

Do not pull it out yourself. It will get infected. Go and get some clove oil from the pharmacy. That will numb the tooth instantly then go to hospital. If you pull it out yourself you will prob faint with the pain and then you will be in a very sticky situation....
Reply:If you are in that much pain, it's probably already infected. If you pull it while infected, you will release the germs into your body. NOT GOOD. If you do it your self, you likely will break off the tooth. This will result in immediate and constant pain, and a much more expensive process.





go to a dentist. Many will allow you to pay a few dollars a week. If you are near a dental school, you might get it done for free. If you live in a large city, there are dental clinics that will charge based on income. DO NOT DO THIS YOURSELF
Reply:If you go to any E.R they will remove it for you and bill you later- trust me you rather worry about that bill later than an infected mouth. Don't pull it yourself!
Reply:Attempting to extract the tooth yourself can lead to additional problems for you... the 'top' of the tooth may come out, but you may end up leaving the roots in place, since they're supported by the bone. No matter how much you 'slice and dice' yourself, you won't get access to the roots.





Find a dental school near you. If that is not an option, call a dentist for an emergency visit, and tell them you are in severe pain. Chances are they won't refuse you, and hopefully they'll be able to make some kind of payment arrangements with you.





If you wait, and the tooth is infected, it can travel further into your body, making matters even worse..





Good luck.
Reply:The words "self" and "extraction" should NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER go together!!!!! I am a dentist and I'd never even THINK about trying that on myself!





Go to an emergency room near you.
Reply:I agree with teethdoc, I am a dentist myself and even I would never consider self extraction and I have all of the instruments to perform it. Extraction of a tooth a home almost always leads to infection which can is not only excruciating pain but can also prove to be fatal if left untreated. Do yourself a HUGE favor and have this tooth pulled by a dentist, he/she will numb your gums with a Lidocaine injection and will pull the tooth correctly.
