“Can I pull a broken tooth out myself?”
I am a 22 year old male and I have a broken tooth. Can I pull a broken tooth out myself?

sure why not, anything is possible, but it may not be very comfortable and you may also increase the risk of infection without proper sterilized instruments. The dentist can numb you which would make less painful to not painful at all and can possibly remove it in 10-15 minutes with a lower risk of infection.
NO! Even if the Brocken tooth is a baby tooth. The tooth is in your mouth I guess and you mouth is very close to your brain! It is dangerous because you can get an infection and complications and you will end up at the dentist or worse, in the hospital.
No!
You can do what ever you like but it is not advised. Broken teeth are very difficult to take out because there is a high risk of breaking off and then leaving a piece of the root behind. This can lead to a serious infection and bone loss. You are better off taking out a perfectly good than you are attempting to take out a broken one. I highly advise against taking out yourself. Good Luck!
Probably not. Why torture yourself? You need the correct tools... sterile...and anesthesia (local numbing). They are not common household items. Go to a dentist.
I would not do that, you can create more damage in your mouth.
You can, but I would not recommend you to do it yourself. A broken tooth tends to be weaker that non-fractured tooth. We have seen patients took their tooth out and left the root inside the bone causing secondary infection. It will take more time and money to correct a fractured root. Please visit your dentist for definitive diagnosis and treatment. Good luck, hope you feel better soon.
