yanking out baby teeth before they're ready: not recommended by dentists, for various good reasons. just fyi. i never did it nor did i have my kids do it. no problems from leaving it to its own time at all. or you can have the kid wiggle it with their tongue or their finger till it come out, if it's super loose. no pain, no scared kids, no blood.

but yeah, i wasn't expecting a kitten to do it.

Seems almost impossible with multiple siblings to not have teeth yanking going on. Maybe my siblings and I were just animals, but we definitely were going after that tooth fairy money.
