How to remove cemented cap from your gums?

Question

My 9 year old has a baby tooth that has a cap on it, and the tooth itself has come completely out. The problem is the silver cap over it is cemented to her front gums, not allowing the tooth to come out of her mouth. It is causing a lot of pain. Is there something i can get that will remove the cement to safely remove the tooth? Or is there a safe way to remove the tooth without having to take her in to the dentist?

It is likely that the tooth hasn't fallen out all of the way, and that there is a piece of root in addition to the crown you see. If the tooth is very loose and mobile, just have your child pull it out. Their fingers are smaller and better able to grip the crown area.If you can't, or your child won't take out the baby tooth then see the dentist. It is pretty common that the baby molars come out in pieces, especially when there has been extensive work on it which would have been done since there's a crown on it. Sincerely,Dr. Reiser
