Trish, if he does need them out it will likely be really really easy. Some kids only need a little topical anaesthetic, rather than local. Depends on how loose the tooth is. Definitely no GA! I'm not keen on exoing teeth unnecessarily, but in this sort of situation if left too long it can affect the position of the permanent teeth. Just see how it goes for a little while, and encourage him to wobble wobble wobble, while watching TV, in the car etc.

Is he due to see the dentist soon anyway?
