I just pulled my dog's infected tooth.I was advised by a dentist how to. I was informed that if I didn't pain and a more serious infection would develop. I was nervous but the gum line was inflammed and the tooth was loose and I knew it had to be done. You can only do this if the tooth is loose, that is, you can wiggle it.1) It's best to give an antibiotic prior. IF you have left over amoxicillian (safe for dogs) depending on size of dog but 70 mg 4 days prior and 3 days after 2) relax the dog. a small amt of beer works well and is not dangerous. Be very reassuring and loving and make him feel loved. developing trust. 3) needle nose pliers sterilized w boiling water and alcohol and clean cotten ball. 4)you'll need 2 people. Wrap dog in a towel. And hold head steady. Get a good hold of it with the pliers and (it takes courage) just pull as quickly as you can. My dog let out a loud yelp but then was perfectly fine/normal-like nothing happened. I gave him kisses and a treat and it's all over.

No! You can have a veterinarian do it, but don't do it on your own. The dog is your pet; you have to recognize that there will be some cost involved in proper care.
