    What the most pain-free way to take out a wobbly tooth?
    I think it's my wisdom tooth and it's stuck to my gum and it's annoying because it's hard to eat.

    It is NOT your wisdom tooth as you are about 10 years to YOUNG for these.

    If this is a second tooth then you need to see your dentist as they shouldn't be loose.

    Other than that it's really a case of hard and fast..

    A wisdom tooth shouldn't be wobbly. It's a permanent tooth. You need to see a dentist.

    Where in your mouth is it? Have you lost a baby tooth in that spot yet?

    When is the last time you saw a dentist?

    It's not a wisdom tooth then.

    So you're saying it's a baby. NO tooth has fallen out of that spot yet? You said "it's a baby 1 and 1/2 years ago", what do you mean? Did the baby fall out of that spot 1.5 years ago? If the baby already fell out, then this tooth that's wobbly is an adult tooth and you need to speak to a dentist about its being loose, it shouldn't be!

    If it's a baby, people have many different methods for getting it out. Some do it hard and fast, for example they grab it and yank it out.

    I personally remember just wiggling it with my tongue until I could wedge my tongue underneath it and push it out. It was less stressful than the idea of yanking!

    If you are 12, as you have said in other posts, and you still have baby teeth in the front of your mouth, you need to see a dentist. I find it very difficult to believe that you saw a dentist a year a half ago, and he/she did not express concern about you still having baby teeth at the front of your mouth, and how it would affect the eruption of your permanent teeth. If everything you are saying here is true, you need to see a dentist, and preferably a different one than you have been seeing. What do your parents have to say about this?
