Can I pull out my wisdom tooth myself?

Question

It hurts when I chew can I grip it with pliers and pull it out myself?

Answer 1

u can but u probably will die from blood loss

Answer 2

Oh no.....don't do that. The dentist numbs it and after the numbness wears off it still hurts, so imagine the pain of actually pulling it yourself. No way, go to an oral surgeon.

Answer 3

why would you want to do that?

Answer 4

are you nuts?!

Answer 5

No... I'm sorry but that could really mess up your face. A dentist pulled my mother's tooth incorrectly and she suffered major nerve damage and needed Gamma Knife surgery! If you try to pull you tooth you could really pay for it for the rest of your life. Go to your dentist and good luck!

Answer 6

i'd pay to see someone do that!

Answer 7

I know that you cannot pull it out yourself. You can seriously injure yourself and wisdom teeth are not like the rest of your teeth..although don't pull out any teeth yourself. Just bite the cost of a dentist and allow them to do their job. If you are worried about cost then their are dental schools and dental programs that can assist you.

Answer 8

Um no I don't think thats a good idea lol

Answer 9

i dont think that is a very smart idea.

and why would you want to do that to yourself anyway.

dentist is better.

Answer 10

Sure...but the worst  thing that could happen is you die

Answer 11

No definitely not.  You could do major damage if you do not know what you are doing.  See a dentist.

Answer 12

No your tooth is embedded deep in bone. if you try to just pull it you are going to fracture your bone and may require surgery to clean it out. Wisdom teeth often require surgery to be removed anyway so you would not be able to just yank it out. Go to the dentist.
