Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / December 2004Extracted Tooth Preservation
Thanks group for your great input in this forum, it helped me so much. Just had my wisdom tooth extracted out recently and I'd like to ask: Is there any advise on preservation of such extracted bone at home, formalin or other solutions!? Or just I can keep it as it is over years without being damaged by the nature. The extracted tooth is a perfect one and I want to keep it to show it for my kids (or in case of any memory problems later I can put it back!). Thanks in advance.

Put it in a sealed jar with water and a little bit of bleach. If you just use water it will stink of hydrogen Sulfide ie rotten eggs smell. You could also use formalin. > Thanks group for your great input in this forum, it helped me so much.

Just let them dry out...they'll be around for a million years...think about it - whats left when they dig up the dinosaurs? The teeth! (I know..they're fossilized) > Thanks group for your great input in this forum, it helped me so much.

The teeth! (I know..they're > fossilized) OK, I can turn this into another guitar-related post. Guitarists, looking for the "ultimate" in sound and sustain, have been turning to fossilized ivory from wooly mammoths, mastodon, and walrus for nuts and bridge saddles. I have heard from a professional classical guitarist I know that these things really work. Of course, (non-fossilized) bone and ivory have been used in guitars for a very long time, but of course ivory is now strictly controlled, so using fossilized ivory is "guilt-free" since no elephants have been killed (we presume) for the material's acquisition. Of course, geologically speaking these are very new fossils--as you know, mammoths have been found preserved in the ice so well that the contents of their last meals have been examined in their stomachs. So I assume that the actual level of non-ivory mineral varies widely. Anyhow, it shows the lengths some folks will go to to brag. http://www.maurysmusic.com/inc/pdetail?v=1&pid=7753 Steve  SignatureMark & Steven Bornfeld DDS http://www.dentaltwins.com Brooklyn, NY 718-258-5001
