How it works -- GatorGripper® Use
Select proper setting
The gator's tail is used to "grip" the tooth. The top setting (nearest to the "tooth-gripping end" or
the gator's tail) usually works best for smaller "front teeth." The bottom setting (furthest away from
the "tooth-gripping end") usually works best for larger "back teeth." If confused about which setting
to use, either works well for any tooth!!
Technique
Squeeze the handle (gator's head) and place on a loose "baby tooth." Gripping tip should be next to
the child's gum tissue. Release pressure on the handle. This will squeeze the "baby tooth" - often
popping the tooth into the gator's tail! If not, gently wiggle the GatorGripper® until the tooth is
removed.
Safety
The GatorGripper® will only remove loose "baby-teeth." If the tooth is not ready to be
removed, then the GatorGripper® will simply slide off of the tooth. In this situation try
GatorGripper® another day.
Pain-free
One of the advantages of using the GatorGripper®
is that it applies a "pressure numbness" when placed on the loose tooth so a child will have an experience that's virtually pain-free.
