Help a Child Remove a Loose Tooth

Welcome to Skye Canyon Children's Dentist! Here's a simple guide on how to help your child remove a loose tooth if needed.
Wash Hands Thoroughly
Step one: Ensure both your and your child’s hands are washed thoroughly.
Use a Clean Tissue or Gauze
Step two: Use a clean tissue or gauze to gently grip the tooth. Check with your child if they are experiencing any pain or discomfort before proceeding.
Apply Quick and Gentle Pressure
Step three: Apply a quick and gentle pressure with a slight twisting motion. This should only be attempted if the tooth is very loose.
If Tooth Does Not Come Out Easily
If the tooth does not come out easily, it’s best to wait a bit longer or consult with a Skye Canyon children’s dentist.
