Hi, I have had teeth removed that made WC Fields as a dentist look tame,
where the dentist broke hook after hook, had a leg up braced on the chair I
was in and pulled for hours, Drilled more holes in the tooth and pulled
again as the hooks got larger. I thought that was it. I said my prayers of
sin and bye bye and wentwith whatever the outcome would be. A tooth can feel
loose afterword as you have to wait until your healed to be sure and then
again a tough tooth extraction where your dragged all over the office as I
was can hit and losen other teeth. My advise? wait until u heal. Then if it
is loose have it looked at. Good Luck...MC
