System and methods for removing a loose tooth

A method for manufacturing a device for removing a loose tooth, the method comprising steps for:

• providing a handle having a first end and a second end;
• attaching a back surface of a base structure to the second end of the handle, the base structure having a double concave interface surface positioned opposite the back surface and which is curved in two directions for contacting a mid-facial or mid-buccal surface of the loose tooth;
• attaching a retention strap comprising a flaccid thread material to a portion of at least one of the handle and the base structure;
• and
• forming a portion of the retention strap into an adjustable loop constructed of a flaccid thread material, wherein the adjustable loop secures the mid-facial or mid-buccal surface of the loose tooth against the interface surface.

A device for removing a loose tooth, the device comprising:

• a handle having a first end, a second end, and a central axis;
• a base structure having a planar surface coupled to the second end of the handle, the planar surface having a width that is greater than the second end of the handle, the central axis of the handle being normal to the planar surface, the base structure further having an interface surface for receiving a mid-facial or mid-buccal surface of a tooth;
• and
• a retention strap comprising a flaccid thread material coupled to a portion of the handle, the flaccid thread material forming an adjustable loop having an opening for placement around a circumferential surface of the tooth, wherein the adjustable loop secures the mid-facial or mid-buccal surface of the loose tooth against the interface surface, wherein the flaccid thread material includes a single linear filament or a single linear cord, wherein the single linear filament or the single linear cord are threaded through the handle and bent to form the adjustable loop.
