Pulling Teeth

Do yall pull teeth in your office? I have been saying no all year because I don't feel comfortable (someone elses child) and I am unsure if that would be a liability to me. I know it sounds silly,:uhoh3: but I keep thinking what if the tooth isn't quite ready and rips the gum, what if its fragile and breaks off... All these things going through my head and I don't have a doctors order to back me up... This is my first year in a school and everything I have done previously I have needed an order for so I am a little confused lol...

I know there are probably some very experienced nurses that are laughing right now!!:lol2: But I wanted to ask!!

Thanks!!

    I used to give them a 2 X 2 so that they could get a good grip, but the pulling was all up to them. I would probably give it a quick look and just assure them that "Yes, that sure is a loose tooth."

    I do not pull teeth. Period. I don't even pull my own children's teeth. I hate teeth. In my school district nurses are not allowed to pull teeth anyway(or splinters or earrings). It falls into the category of "procedure" and we are only allowed to perform "procedures" under strictly limited circumstances. :coollook: Works for me!
