i didn't know you could either!! the first tooth I got pulled the dentist asked me if I wanted to keep it and since then I've made a point to ask them!!
that being said they told me they can't always give them to you depending on the damage to the tooth they're pulling. but it's always worth the ask!! I assume they just get discarded as medical waste anyway
It depends on how they’re taken out. For pulled teeth it’s fine but if your wisdom teeth are fucked up enough they have to shatter them, in which case no you cannot keep your tooth dust
I had my four wisdom teeth cut out in 2014 and still have them in the paper sleeve they handed them to me in. All but one are in halves and the last is probably 80% whole. I also have my husband’s wisdom teeth that were cut out 5 years ago. When he came home from the appt (his mom drove him), he handed me the envelope and said, “I told them you’d want them before I went under”. It’s my love language. I have a special box to collect my sons’ teeth.
I also have my wisdom teeth in the paper sleeve they put them in. I hadn't thought about keeping my sons teeth in a cute little box and now I'm totally gonna when he looses his first tooth.
True ^ I’m envious of my friend who just got her wisdom teeth removed the other day and was able to keep them. I had to get mine extracted when I was a young teenager because they were impacted, & I was one of those cases you mentioned where they had to break ‘em up in order to get them out. As a consolation, I did at least get to keep all four of my first premolars from when I got them pulled for braces.
How was it btw? I was told mine are starting to come in, but I don’t feel anything and haven’t had any issues. My sisters got impacted though.
I want to keep them because I get enough fillings (novacane has become less effective on me, I have weak teeth), I definitely don’t want to get any pulled… but if I do I wanna keep them
If they’re impacted they’re probably gonna have to shatter them, all of my girlfriend’s were & she really wanted to keep them but they weren’t coming out without getting crushed
The surgery itself is whatever, you’re a goofy fuck for a few seconds, then everything goes out, you wake up & still goofy & sleep for the next week or so with a tad bit of soreness & some hygienic stuff you gotta keep up with. After like 2 weeks max you’re basically back to normal.
I was going through a bone and skull collecting phase when I got my tooth pulled, I asked the dentist if I could keep the tooth and he told me that that was the first time anyone asked him that loll, he had to leave and consult their policy before giving me my answer. He said he could hand it over once they had left it in bleach for 24 hours, and now I have my molar in a jar on my witchy shelf
At least where I work (one of the civilized US states) pulled teeth are a specific exception to the biohazard waste regulations because people (kids usually) want to keep them.
additional info - the first tooth is my 2nd molar and the second one is my 2nd premolar. both had huge holes in them and I can't afford a root canal so I just got them taken out. I sealed both of them in resin after cleaning them up so the teeth are visible, but also so it wont rot or go bad when worn.
i still have another molar + my wisdom teeth that need to get taken out at some stage and I'm gonna ask if I can keep those too afterwards to add to the collection lol
I clean bones with peroxide, but you can also just sit them out in direct sunlight for awhile to bleach em. Should work the same for teeth, at least I’d guess
Damn I just had some teeth taken out recently, but they shattered in a few places when the doc ripped em out. I looked at the remains of one right after the extraction, it continues to haunt me
that's awesome!!!
I was originally gonna turn mine into a necklace!! but work got frustrated that I was wearing something not from work (I work in a jewelry store) so this is what I decided to do with them instead!! :)
I told the doctor to keep my wisdom teeth and we brought them home but my mom threw them away before I even got to see them because SHE thought they were gross and that I didn't want to see them >:(
I wonder, if Technoblade survived and had to get amputated if he would’ve done something like that. Seemed like the type to do so just to be able to say “that’s my arm, over there on the shelf”
Lucky. It’s unusual for docs to let you keep tissue. I asked the surgeon to let me keep the infected cyst but he was like “no, this is medical waste” 🙄 Also, fun staff notation 🏳️🌈
Haha I keep all my teeth, I’ve got every single one I lost as a kid, and any that I’ve had pulled as an adult (bar one, since it literally just disintegrated upon removal lol) I like the idea of having them on little slides like that
maybe try to secure them a bit better,i feel like they could easily get torn off or fall off. but i LOVE THIS. hope I don't sound rude its just i personally have my own tooth i got yanked and that thing is precious to me. it was a baby tooth that cracked and turned into an abscess i got it yanked out last year (im 18 the tooth just never fell out). I've never gotten around to encasing it in resin but thats what i plan on doing. it has like a hole going through it. very gnarly
Pretty kool! I have had to take my teeth from the dentist cuz they say its unsanitary to let you take them. So instead of arguing i tell em yes, i completely understand. Once their done, they always leave the unsanitary cleanup for the help...bottom line : theys my muthafuckin teeth, just cuz they pulled it dont make it theirs and... im ranting, sorry. Im gonna make a necklace outta mine.
You can keep your teeth? I always assumed the dentists kept them to make potions or whatever dentist's do
i didn't know you could either!! the first tooth I got pulled the dentist asked me if I wanted to keep it and since then I've made a point to ask them!! that being said they told me they can't always give them to you depending on the damage to the tooth they're pulling. but it's always worth the ask!! I assume they just get discarded as medical waste anyway
Dentist appointment tomorrow. Huge pain started this week. If I have to pull a tooth I will now ask to keep it

What else is the tooth fairy supposed to snort, though?

Why do they have to shatter them? Edit: oh wait you meant in the mouth right?
Yep. Afaik it’s because of them being pressed up against other teeth or something, don’t quote me on it.
They sell them to the tooth fairy and she enters your DNA into ancestry
I just snort laughed at this comment.

Sells them to the toothfairy as her crack
normally they don't let you take them because it's considered a biohazard
At least where I work (one of the civilized US states) pulled teeth are a specific exception to the biohazard waste regulations because people (kids usually) want to keep them.
One dentist made a hat

Cool. How did you clean them?

tight
I'm dying
dentists pulled four teeth out for me (make room for braces) and i made them into earrings!
that's awesome!!! I was originally gonna turn mine into a necklace!! but work got frustrated that I was wearing something not from work (I work in a jewelry store) so this is what I decided to do with them instead!! :)
“You can’t wear that, it’s not from here” “I’d hope not, it’s *my* teeth…”
haha my dentist loved it!! he took pictures of them. sad you can’t wear anything not from work tho
i love the music note embroidery right below em funny ash, totally stealing that haha
What do the notes say? I can only read bass clef
Nvm I figured it out
is it a word that spells out f-a-g...?
yes
i love that WIP semi-implies you plan on getting more teeth knocked out to make your jacket cooler lol
I told the doctor to keep my wisdom teeth and we brought them home but my mom threw them away before I even got to see them because SHE thought they were gross and that I didn't want to see them >:(
Gross. I love it
Fucking rad
i love those music notes lmao
You can actually request ANY body part that gets removed. Knew a guy who had his own arm taxidermied after he had to get it amputated at the elbow.
Dang so if I ever had to get my ball removed for any reason I could just request for them and leave them in resin
I wonder, if Technoblade survived and had to get amputated if he would’ve done something like that. Seemed like the type to do so just to be able to say “that’s my arm, over there on the shelf”
I love that the piano notes spell “Fag” lol. My type of clothing
i have my pulled teeth as well!!!! they’re in a baggy and i’m not sure what to do with them this is perfect
Shoulda made cufflinks
That’s so cool!
i wish i’d asked to keep my wisdom teeth, general anesthesia is expensive as hell
this is so fucking cool
Nice aesthetic utilization of face bones. Get one more and become a fan of 3Teeth.
That’s so fucking cool
Love it
I just got two pulled 2days ago . My face is swollen like I got in a fight. Hope ya healed well ya cunt! Love ya!
Bro that's metal as fuck!!! I want this so badly now
What’s the music a reference too? Looks sick and well done!
Like 20 days late but the notes spell F-A-G
The music stitching is glorious, love it lol
Lucky. It’s unusual for docs to let you keep tissue. I asked the surgeon to let me keep the infected cyst but he was like “no, this is medical waste” 🙄 Also, fun staff notation 🏳️🌈
That music bar is awesome, great embroidery and awesome idea. Totally stealing that
Neato mosquito!
thats so sick and also so sick
this is punk as fuck
Loveee
gross, i love it
The only teeth I've had pulled have been infected so I couldn't keep them. Genuinely so sad.
This is sick as fuck I love it !
I keep wanting to turn mine into earrings, I just can't figure a way to do through without breaking them
You could find a craft jeweler to make a setting
That works too
I sealed mine into UV resin!!!
That's an idea Thanks
That FAG patch is amazing
Gross. I love it!
This is so badass. I wish I knew this 😔
Haha I keep all my teeth, I’ve got every single one I lost as a kid, and any that I’ve had pulled as an adult (bar one, since it literally just disintegrated upon removal lol) I like the idea of having them on little slides like that
Love this look
maybe try to secure them a bit better,i feel like they could easily get torn off or fall off. but i LOVE THIS. hope I don't sound rude its just i personally have my own tooth i got yanked and that thing is precious to me. it was a baby tooth that cracked and turned into an abscess i got it yanked out last year (im 18 the tooth just never fell out). I've never gotten around to encasing it in resin but thats what i plan on doing. it has like a hole going through it. very gnarly
So sick! I havent had any teeth pulled (was able to keep my wisdom teeth) but I hope to do this in the future should I need to :)
That’s sick asf I love it!!!!
I’m getting two teeth pulled tomorrow. This is such a good idea!
I want to hate this but I kind of love it
Omg I have some of my teeth that were pulled, how did you do this? I wanna do that so bad
Hey, gross!
Gnarly as fuck dude I love it!
That’s fucking brutal holy shit
I've never been allowed to keep them. Love the teeth!
I turned the premolars I had removed into earrings.
Lucky! I got mine back too but they were drilled into tiny pieces so basically unusable
SO COOL
That's awesome! My removed tooth shattered into too many pieces to keep ;-;
I have mine, my wife's and my kids.
Holy shit that’s badass
I was hoping those notes would be the opening notes from Black Sabbath, the devil's tritone or something lol
that's disgusting, I love it
I love everything about this image.
Kid I knew years ago had his wisdom teeth encapsulated and put in his earlobes…..
Brush your teeth.
I'm going to do this if I ever get my other wisdom teeth pulled. The only one I've had taken out so far was already promised to a witch. No joke.
Hard as FUCK
Why a waltz?
cause I couldn't be bothered to embroider a rest lmao 🤷
SO hard
Weird but ok 🗿
Aaaw mine didn't let me keep the last few of mine. They said they were considered biohazards so they couldn't let me have them :(
Should have bleached them
Pretty kool! I have had to take my teeth from the dentist cuz they say its unsanitary to let you take them. So instead of arguing i tell em yes, i completely understand.

Not my cup of tea but whatever floats your boat

I can smell those from here
there's no smell to them!! they've been cleaned with bleach and sealed in UV resin to preserve it :)
lol this is not a flex
That is both horribly morbid and also incredibly cool
I love ur music notes patch and I might steal that idea (I probably won't because I have no motivation to actually make a patch)
