Best Way to Pull a Baby’s Tooth at Home

Having a Baby Tooth Pulled

How To | Instruction After Removal

I remember My dad having to pull out my baby tooth when I was 5 years old. I let my dad pull one of my teeth out one time and it was a traumatizing experience. It’s probably OK to remove your child’s tooth if she is nearly 6 or older.

My parents are not a dentist or an expert on teeth extractions. Everything they learned and use to extract teeth have been acquired from my favorite dentist (Dr. Lyka) recommended. It is best to consult your dentist or a professional if you have concerns.

Things that you should prepare before doing it:

• Mat
• Tray to hold all the things
• Dental floss
• Sterilized cotton pad or sterilized gauze
• Dafalgan 3% (for kids)

How to pull a baby tooth:

1. First, wash your hands and wiggle the tooth back and forth with sterilized gauze. 
2. Or tie a string to the base of the tooth and then tie the other end of it to a doorknob. 
3. If it’s ready, gentle twisting will be necessary and the tooth will pop right out.
4. Apply pressure to the area with a cotton pad if there is any bleeding. Bleeding should stop after a few minutes. If it doesn’t, please call your dentist.

Instruction after removal:

• You can take Dafalgan Pediatrique 3% dosage. For children: 15mg/kg/dose or 60mg/kg/24hr divided every 6 hrs. Maximum 5 doses SOS.
• If you see any redness the next day or your child is complaining of excessive pain, you should see a dentist.
