Ok... Ok... So, yes it sounds crazy but I'm debating on removing my ONE wisdom tooth at home myself. Don't post a bunch of "HELL NO" answers. They aren't helpful. I'm hoping a dentist comes on here and gives me an extremely good reason not to or some advice to help me on my self-extraction.

First off I have no medical insurance because I'm in the middle gray area of "No coverage from state because I make too much" and "Sorry your coverage through the company is worthless". So going in to get it done is out of the question completely.

My options are:

A. Live with it. Problem being I believe it's getting infected.

B. Remove it with sterile things at home.

I only have one and it doesn't impact the tooth next to it. It also does move some and a piece of it fell out a year ago which is why I think it's getting infected. I have an incredibly large threshold for pain and I'd probably educate myself to dentist level before I'd do it. Neither of those two bother me and this idea doesn't seem scary. I've stitched, stapled and fished out foreign objects myself at home with no heavy bleeding issues or infection. I take care of myself well.

The only reason I'm posting on here is I'm looking for complications that can happen at home aside from hemorrhage and/or infection.

Again... DO NOT reply with an answer that isn't helpful. (ex. "Go to a dentist", "hell no", etc...)

If a dentist does come on here with some helpful words of advice that would be great.
