so I got my wisdom tooth pulled out today and decided to keep it. I've got most of the blood washed off except for a tiny bit at the top. Any tips on how to get the blood off? I thought of using Coke-cola cuz that's what they use to clean blood off the streets but then yet, the coke might disintegrate my tooth. haha, i know this is a gross question, blood and all.

First, scrape off the soft-tissue on the tooth surface.
Then, soak it in household beach for about 3 days (full strength). This will disinfect and kill all the remaining live tissue (pulp).
Finally, air dry.
Once it is dried out, you can store it or make a necklace with it.
Have fun.

Soak them in bleach for a couple minutes. It will take the blood off and kill the germs.

Ask the dentist. They probably know. People love to keep baby teeth from their babies, so the dentist may be able to tell you how to wash and preserve this tooth

You can put it in a small cup and mix peroxide and water with it.
Let it soak overnight.
It won't disintergrate, I promise.
You can also use bleach if you like.

Soak it in mouthwash? or try one of those denture cleaners...
