I have never stepped inside a dentist clinic, when we were young with my siblings and our milk teeth was loose we would go to an elderly person to pluck them out.
We were scared but at the same time we needed a lined teeth, cause when we did not pluck the teeth, the new teeth would grow from side of the loose teeth and it would look ugly cause it's not a lined well.
I remember after being plucked the loose teeth we would rinse our mouth with warm salted water after that we were given the plucked teeth and told to put it under our pillow so when we wake up we would get money, of which we did not find any money when waking up in the morning. After that we would go to the mirror to see how the space looks like after the teeth being pluck.
Now I am an adult I have the thirty two teeth, and they are in a perfect condition.
What is your say in that my lots family?

When I was a kid I extracted my loosen milk tooth with a piece of thread. I tied it and suddenly pulled it off. It's painless. No blood.

I've had to go to the dentist since I was young and we weren't allowed much sugar but my teeth still weren't great.

@ketinaharriet I had a typo. My teeth weren't great when I was young so, no, not nice at all.

My father used to pull my teeth when they got loose enough, too. I'm afraid I have not been to a dentist in a long time, but it is expensive.

That's wonderful. I'm sure that you do not eat a great deal of sugar. They say that the worst thing for teeth.

That is awesome...Did you drink a lot of milk growing up? My sister did and we started taking flouride pills as kids, although I was probably too old for them to have much effect. She has never had a cavity.

Oh my my used to be my dentist when im younger. but there is one time my tooth grow at back of my tooth that is not loose. so my mom could not get it so we really go to dentist. and yea now my teeth is not in line.
But Idk if you do this when you are kid. to throw the tooth at roof saying that your tooth will grow fast.
and also this the tooth fairy when you put it under the pillow there will be money replaced it
