Tips for wobbly tooth removal please

[schroeder]

DS(12) has a wobbly tooth which is reluctant to come out.

It's beginning to worry him as he had to have one removed by the dentist before, as it was making the adult tooth come through at an angle.

He's gone out to get some peanut trackers-this has worked in the past.

Has anyone else got any tried and tested methods?

Which tooth is it? How wobbly is it? Can you not get to the dentist? Probably best to just leave it.

I had a father in a real state at my out of hours clinic a couple of weeks ago, he was convinced his 6yo ds had been assaulted because his front teeth were wobbly. I think mum was away and have a sneaky feeling that if she had been around, she would have educated him about these things!!

He's is very not-keen on dentists. I was kind of hoping the trackers would do it, but no.

To tell the truth I'm not sure it's ready it doesn't swing back and forth that far IYKWIM

but his gum does look quite red above it, it's a tiny little tooth in between a couple of bigger ones(it's the tooth next to his front tooth)there's not much room for it to move.

Not looking forward to stressful trip to dentist.

Perhaps now would be a good time to get him acclimatised? There is no real reason for people of his age to be "not-keen on dentists", particularly if he has been regularly and needed no treatment.

There may not be a good reason

He's not a very reasonable child to be frank,he's very emotional and a worrier,but he has been to the dentist every year or so.

Like I said before he has had to have a deciduous tooth removed by the dentist in the past,which we found traumatic as he overreacts big style to every little thing.

I would prefer not to have to go through it again I would like his next visit to be problem free so it's a more pleasant experience for him.
