I was eating a sandwich and bit into a hard little plastic thing. I deno what it was but it cracked my tooth and now it's loose! What should I do? I might be able to pull it out because it's sooooo loose or maybe I should wait till it falls out? I don't have dental insurance so.. yeah. I know that a tooth wont grow back but soon I'll be able to pay for a bridge just not atm cause of some financial situations I'm in right now. So what can i do right now?
--------------------
If the tooth doesn't hurt, I would recommend one of the two following options; 1- Wait... leave it alone and see what happens. Do not try to pull it out yourself! You will just end up hurting yourself, or breaking the tooth further and needing a surgical extraction to remove the root tip rather then a simple one to get the whole thing out! 2- Call your local dentist. Ask them how much a "Limited Exam, X-ray, and a simple extraction" cost. It is pricey but not WAY pricey. If you still don't think you can afford that, ask if they do a payment plan, or if they know of a Dental school in the area or a free clinic you could go to. They will be full of info for you! Good luck, and keep brushing the loose tooth until you make up your mind.
