Does Self En-rooting The Tooth Is Safe ?
Hello my daughter tried pulling out her tooth but then realized that her roots were all out but her gums are stuck into the middle of her tooth. She only feels a little pain when she tries to pull it. I am worried that she will rip her gums and do damage. What do I do??

hi
thank you for consulting HCM
Pulling of teeth with all roots out and stucking into the middle of her tooth should be consider seriously.
firstly you should stop her doing this activity and identify the cause why she is doing. Is it because of unwanted habbit, anxiety, stress etc ?
visit your dentist get OPG xray done to reveal the status of tooth and periodontium both which will reveal the current status of teeth.
thank you
