Ewww Question About Teeth!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I think I'm a scardy cat! I KNOW I AM!! Oliver was licking my hand and he starts gently gnawing my fingers- He's 6 months old and this is a NONO, but as I was telling him no I noticed that his eye tooth (top) was SUPER LOOSE! and it just kinds bent sideways everytime he gnawed. EWW! I get the chills when I think of stuff like that-- even if it were my own teeth. I'm gunna be a scared Momma- always making my hubby deal with the broken bones and loose teeth. lol
Anyways..
MY QUESTION: should I pull the tooth (by that i mean should I make my boyfriend pull the tooth) or should I let it fall out by itself? I know with human teeth my dad always got a kick out of tuggin my out! lol It is REALLY loose- totally bends sideways....Ew... I know.
Just wanted some opinions!! Thank you!!

When Hobbs had loose teeth, I was grossed out when I touched them. I never pulled any of Hobbs' loose teeth. I let them fall out on their own. If you pull them, the root may break off and stay in the gum. That would be very bad. Hobbs didn't have any trouble by letting his fall out naturally.

thank you for your advice! I'm a little worried, though, about his teeth in general because he seems to be retaining some of them... but hopefully since this one is so loose it'll just fall out.

I would gently play tug with him and see if it comes out. Cali has retained all but one baby tooth which came out about a month ago and she's 11 months old.
