Creative Ways to Help Pull out Your Child’s Loose Tooth!



Any parent will tell you that pulling out your children’s loose tooth can be a physical and emotional struggle.  Losing your baby teeth is a rite of passage for all kids around the ages of 4-7.  Remember, the best part of losing your baby teeth is a visit from the tooth fairy!  Below is a list of fun and creative ways to help pull out your child’s loose tooth to make the experience memorable.

String Method – tie a string around the loose tooth, and give it a yank.  Other fun string trick options include tieing the other end of the string to a door knob, and shut the door.  Also, tie the other end to something with some weight and drop it from the second floor.

Food Method – Another great trick to get a stubborn loose tooth out is to eat items that are either sticky are hard.  This is great for a child who is frightened by the item of pulling a tooth out.  This method allows to tooth to come out naturally and without notice.

Wiggle Method – A great way to continue to loosen the tooth is to have your child rinse with warm water, and push the tooth in all direction with their tongue.  Eventually, the tooth should naturally pop out or become loose enough to easily pull out.
