Of course, in such a case , you’ve likely waited (as I had) until the tooth is really bad. Despite antibiotics.
I think because of the infection it was quite loose, and prying a little with the elevator was all it took to get it to where it could pull it out with my fingers. If I had not had dental tools, it might have been much harder.
The pain is already really bad, yanking it out really wasn’t much worse than the steady state and once the nerves were severed it was instant reduction in discomfort.
Half a bottle of gin made it easier. The hard part was having to wait until the sea conditions were good enough that I felt like I could safely be numb-faced drunk.
