The process of extracting a loose deciduous tooth refers to the method used to remove a tooth that is naturally nearing the end of its lifespan and is ready to fall out. A child experiencing a wiggly tooth, for instance, may be a candidate for gentle removal techniques.
Facilitating the extraction of a loose baby tooth can alleviate discomfort and prevent potential complications like infection or improper alignment of emerging permanent teeth. Historically, various methods, ranging from simple wiggling to more forceful approaches, have been employed; however, current recommendations emphasize gentle and safe techniques.
