My mother painfully pulled out my older siblings' baby teeth for them, but she let me do my own. My half-assed scaredy-cat efforts left me with a deformed smile that led to expensive braces.
What teeth-pulling methods did you use/suffer?
We've already got viper to cover the village yokel, but thanks.
:huh:
You know, they fall out on their own.
Hockey.
Sigh. Asians. :weep:
In Befo Da ACW Hijack
Back in my day, we tied one end of a string around the tooth, another around a Confederate infantryman, and told Gen. Pickett to take Cemetery Ridge.

Seriously, this sort of thing should be reserved for professionals. Every single one of my baby teeth was pulled that way. The only situation where pulling out your own teeth is acceptable is when you are cast away alone on an island somewhere in the Pacific.
Fobs :lol:
Baby teeth? You just wiggle them out over the course of a week then rinse your mouth out with salty water. Or eat toffee, that usually does the trick.

This.
There are parallels between this situation and what the Confederacy faced in the fall of 1863.

Hmm, tell me more, please
Fucking savages.
The best way to avoid the problem with baby teeth is to never have children. That was my plan.
I don't get it. I thought baby teeth just fell out after a time.

I would have thought that the faster moving Cavalry troops would be best suited for the pulling of teeth...also not as likely the horses would become bogged down by a stubborn tooth.

The Cavalry might have been TOO fast if you know what I mean.

WTF? Talk about getting ripped off, I'm stunned you'd advocate paying for something that will happen on it's own. You don't need a dentist or your mother to pull them out, they'll fall out on their own.
Sometimes they need a final yank. However, that's not going to cause crooked teeth no matter how you do it, that's just a myth.
Apples work good.

I needed one pulled. It got in the way. I had a friend growing up who couldn't afford dentists, for awhile he had like a double row of teeth because the baby teeth blocked the adult ones coming in, so they popped up behind or in front of them. Kinda freaky.

Obviously in an abnormal situation like that you need some professional assistance, but normally you don't.

My wife is a medical oddity in that many of her baby teeth never fell out and there was no "adult" teeth underneath them.

You mean baby-baby teeth or childhood teeth?
The former would really be weird...
I think I have a bit of the latter though, or at least I've never lost some of my teeth

People usually have only the two sets, I thought. What's the difference between "baby teeth" and "early childhood teeth"?

Don't babies have some that they lose at a really early age?
Could be totally misremembering here.
WTF.
People aren't sharks. They have bebe teeth and man teeth. They don't have seven rows of razor sharp fangs, despite what some of you child haters here would like to believe. <_<

My dad had the opposite problem. he was actually born with teeth, which fell out when he got baby teeth. Must have been hell breast feeding him lol

Leave it to Mono to fall victim to the racket known as juvenile dentistry. A lifetime of scrimping and saving, wiped out before it even began.

I would imagine not. His digestive system would be the same as any other infant.
