How To Do an Emergency Tooth Extraction
Positioning
Position the patient inclined, with the patient's head at the level of your elbows and the occiput supported. For the lower jaw, use a semi-recumbent sitting position, making the lower occlusal plane roughly parallel to the floor when the mouth is open. For the upper jaw, use a more supine position, making the upper occlusal plane roughly 60 to 90 degrees to the floor. Turn the head and extend the neck such that the tooth is clearly visible and accessible: In general, turn the head slightly away to remove teeth on the side on which the operator is standing and slightly toward the operator for teeth on the opposite side. Keep the head facing forward for the front teeth.
