So easy to have your teeth pulled away if they have no roots. And some of us seem to have forgotten that. Easy to do, if you have no kids or are way too old, like some of us.
When I was a kid losing my baby teeth, my dad showed me how to tie a string to it and tie the other end to a doorknob. Then just slam the door and out came the tooth. Dad claimed that’s what he did when he was a kid. It worked for me. At some point, the loose tooth would be really annoying - not ready to fall out, but loose enough to bug me - so this method got it out easily. (mom was a little freaky about this, but the dentist assured her I wasn’t doing any harm)
When my baby teeth were ready to come out, and I couldn’t stand it any longer, I let me dad grab them with his huge lineman’s plyers. They came out quickly and painlessly.
I’m glad that dentists don’t have anything that huge.

Man, those things aren’t powerful enough to yank a tooth. At least mine wasn’t.

Since it’s a ‘baby’ tooth, this should actually work. Just watch where it lands, so you can put it under your pillow, Lio
