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.
