[header] How to painlessly pull out a loose baby tooth [title] Evaluate how ready the tooth is to come out. [step] Baby teeth loosen gradually, and often take two or more weeks to loosen enough to be removed from your child's mouth. Although children are often excited to lose their baby teeth, it can be painful if the tooth is not sufficiently loose. 
Inspect your child's tooth, and see if it's ready to come out. If the tooth is only connected by a small flap of gum tissue, encourage your child to loosen it further until the tooth falls out.
