Would You or Wouldn't You?

DQ had a loose tooth; she popped herself in the mouth today (long story) and it's now literally dangling there in her mouth. She's scared to death to pull it, and of course won't let me pull it for her.

I tried everything ... bribery ... the fear of her choking on it in her sleep ... even told her the Tooth Fairy is running a special on Mondays while supplies last that she'll double the payout for teeth, but ONLY on Monday nights.

So ... she's tired, about to drift off to sleep on the couch ... and I'm thinkin' about going over and pulling it out once she is sound asleep.

Would you do it? I'm seriously most concerned about her choking on it in her sleep ... there's no doubt in my mind ... it WILL come out in her sleep b/c she tends to grind her teeth.

OUCH

If you vote 'no', it'd be nice to know why. Cuz I'm leaning toward yes and WILL do it unless someone gives me a legitimate reason not to.

See, I'm thinking it won't hurt a bit ... the thing is (no joke) dangling there ... earlier, her lip was dry from her sucking the saliva back from the tooth, and the tooth got dry-stuck to it, and when she smiled, it stuck to her lip and bent out and up.

I'm not voting, I'm just here for the entertainment.

My daughter was in the same situation. I had her brush her teeth, and then I helped her "because she missed a spot". Next thing you know, I'm holding her tooth. Works great.

Give her a caramel apple.

Anyways, how would you like it if someone was poking at you?

Give her a caramel apple.

Provided she has one in the house.

I voted "Git-r-done," but I didn't think you could say that anymore. banned over used word.

Give her a caramel apple.

That's how I lost one of my upper/middle teef.

She won't even look at food; she made a sandwich for dinner earlier and I asked her, "How're you gonna eat that with a snaggle-toof?" She said she'd just break pieces off and put it in on the side, but apparently forgot, and bit into it, thus the drama ensued.

Seriously, I wouldn't let her go to sleep with it if it's that loose. She may swallow it or choke on it in her sleep...

My thoughts exactly ... that'd freak her out a whole lot worse (waking up choking) than if she were to wake up to me plucking the thing out.

Besides, my plan -- if she doesn't wake up, is to put the dough under the pillow on the couch, and just tell her in the morning that the tooth fairy probably pulled it for her.

That sucks so bad. That's like you falling into a deep sleep and someone giving you a huge titty twister.

If it hasn't fallen out now with her running around all day it isn't going to fall out when she's sound asleep.

I voted no because I don't have the guts, but if you can do it, do it, Especially if she is a deep sleeper Good luck

It wasn't this loose until she popped herself in the mouth this afternoon, then even more so when she bit into the sandwich. And she is a VERY deep sleeper.

She's zonked out now, but not super-deep where I'd be in the clear. She's also not in a good position for me to do it ... I'll know she's totally zonked when she's got her mouth all open like she's waiting for a drop of water.

Just yank, toss the tooth on the pillow next to her, and run, she'll never know what happened.

Her mouth's not open right now.

But ya know what'd be really mean? Emmitt is snuggled up beside her. If she did wake up, I could blame it on him and say he accidentally hit her in the mouth with his paw.
