It depends on what state you are in. TECHNICALLY, in my state, all biologic materials must be accounted for and destroyed by a licensed medical waste management facility. If someone wants their tooth, though, I gladly give it to them. I'm trusting that they won't go straight to the newspaper and tell anyone I violated the law.

so... whose is it then? the dentist's?
I never heard of such a law. I wonder what would happen to you if you kept it anyway... are you breaking the law then and can be arrested?
woah, right now... I can see thousands of kids "getting rid" of the evidence so they won't have to go to jail and pay the price for breaking the law and keeping their own tooth...

that is amazingly uncomplicated to have enamel bumped off at the same time as having braces, the same old reason behind having braces is the overcrowdingg of enamel contained in the mouth (too many enamel) one you've the braces put in they're going to be straightened by technique of the braces and definitely fill contained in the gaps. that is unusual that braces do no longer do the activity, so there isn't any longer some thing to be afflicted about, after the treatment you'll have healthy, instantly looking enamel.

That's true. It's considered a biohazard because you could have an infection. This wasn't a big deal before hepatitis and HIV became so prevalent. It's a sign of the times.

Well... When I was younger my dentist had to pull teeth on 2 seperate occasions. Those teeth he allowed me to keep in their own little plastic box that he gave me.
So I'm not sure. It might've changed.
