it's hanging by a thread but I'm not allowed to touch!

Much hysteria in our house!

I pulled ds1's first one out as it was so wobbly that it was affecting his eating and the gum was red and inflamed. He asked me to do it.

I used a paper napkin to get a good grip on it -- teeth are slippery

good luck
