had to pull out my own tooth..

It doesn't look decayed at all.

OMG, rob. Wow.

it isnt.
just went all wobbly like it broke.
there was just NO fixing that one.

back lower molar...for the past two months its been awfully loose.
it moved so much i couldnt speak correctly, couldnt chew, i could shove my tongue underneath it halfway.

i knew it had to come out...no saving this one.
(must have broken it somehow and it was only holding on by one side of its roots.)

watched dentist videos of extractions on NOT loose teeth, that was just brutal.
found a video on helping kids get their loose teeth out.
one girl had a back loose molar like me...so i did what they did.

here is what i did:
wrapped dental floss around my tooth and tied in several knots.
wrapped the other end of floss around a hand weight.
it took me, i kid you not, half an hour to get that tied.

then i walked to my back door and threw the weight outside as hard and fast as i could.
no pain!@
tooth is fully out.
kept a black tshirt between my teeth for half an hour so the clot could form.

three days now, not a single bit of pain.
clot still in place,
i can eat and talk again.
here is a pic of that bad boy...the roots both turn backwards so i was LUCKY.

i wouldnt do this again UNLESS the tooth was extremely loose.

why was it loose , it looks relatively healthy.

it also looks dried like it's been out of a mouth for quite a while

they were tying their dental floss to toy trucks, balls, back of trucks, ceiling fans, stove doors, fridge doors and one person even had their BIRD pull the kids tooth out...

teeth don't fall out unless of poison or toxins or radiation.

teeth break down and snap off at the gum line, they don't fall out. I repeat. THEY DON'T JUST FALL OUT.

FLORIDA MAN...IT FIGURES...HA HA. NICE WORK...BENT ROOTS..WEIRD...I HAD A FRIEND WHO HAD REAL 'THIN' ROOTS..LIKE ANGEL HAIR PASTA FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. NEVER SEEN THIS..IF ANY OTHER TEETH GET LOOSE...GO TO A DR.!UH.

MY THEORY..THE ENDS OF THE ROOTS LOOK ALIVE AN MOSTLY HEALTHY..I GUESS THEY HAD LITTLE ROOM TO GO DOWN DUE TO A 'SHALLOW POCKET' IN YOUR JAW...SO, THE TOOTH AND THE ROOTS WENT IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION AND OVER TIME...'THAT' CAUSED THE TOOTH TO BECOME LOOSE AND MOVE SIDEWAYS-ISH WHILE THE ROOTS WENT 'ROOTING' FOR A NEW FOUND HOMELAND SO THAT THEY COULD PUT DOWN 'SOLID ROOTS' SOMEWHERE..NEVER DID. HAVE YOU HAD AN X-RAY IN DECADES? THE NEW DIGITAL X-RAYS HAVE ALMOST ZERO RADIATION...SO THEY SAY. MIGHT NOT BE A BAD IDEA TO SEE IF OTHERS ARE 'GOING THAT WAY'. DR. CAPMAN D.D.S.
