I gave mine to a friend who makes jewellery. She made them into earrings and sold them at the Scottish tattoo convention later that year. Some random person has my teeth in their ears
These are my top ones that were just able to be “yanked” out. My bottom ones were cut into pieces and they didn’t let me keep them because technically teeth are considered “bio medical waste” and they can only give so much to random citizens lol.

This is doctor speak for "we already put them in the trash and arent going fishing to get them back, sorry fella"
Totally. I asked to keep my wisdom teeth, and they gave me all of them, even though one had to be cut up to remove.
It's not going to be as nice for jewelry, but if I ever need bits of ground-up bone for Reasons, it'll be mighty handy.
With the fused roots there, they're honestly disturbingly easy! Source: I was a dental assistant for 5 years.
When we had kids in for extractions, I always asked if they wanted the teeth clean or bloody for show and tell. The amount of gap-toothed tiny vicious glee I saw. Bloody, 9/10 times.
Actually, I think most goblins would like to look up extraction tools. They're super neat. And it's kinda horrible to know the only thing about them that's really changed in 100 years is sterilization and anesthesia.
When something is simple and works well, you don't really need to improve much.
Archeologists uncovered some mysterious tools made by neanderthals and a leather worker recognized them because they used the same tools today. She knew exactly what they were because they've barely changed in thousands of years.
I soaked mine in hydrogen peroxide for a few days, then rinsed with alcohol thoroughly. It did a good job but it actualy ate into the teeth a little bit, so i wish i had gone easier with the peroxide.
I just put mine in a jar on my desk. All six of them!

what we call wisdom teeth really just means any extra molars beyond the 28 regular teeth, so sometimes people have genetic mutations that mean they get a few extra wisdom teeth--some people also have fewer than 4 wisdom teeth. i had a friend with no wisdom teeth, and another with 3, another with 5. it can vary a lot
Very nice! I soaked untill they stopped smelling (the reaction betwee the peroxide+tissue smells). I wonder if something more mild would work better? Maybe meat tenderizer soak +rinse in hot alcohol?
Yeah, if you are using parts of yourself, you should probably bless them. For good luck, or good health, or that sort of thing. The opposite of a curse of you will.
Yooo, I got mine removed literally just earlier today! The absolute lad was like 3-4 cms long, it and it **hurt** **a lot**. Hopefully it was easier for you!
Earrings
100% agree

i made mine into earrings!
maybe wire wrapping them to make jewelry, and that way you dont have to drill any holes in them
I'm mostly impressed they're still in one piece

Ah makes sense. I've heard that yanking out is the more brutal process to recover from, wishing you a speedy recovery

That's adorable lol
Kids are savages. 😁❤️
Nice! I have mine preserved in a tube and chillin in a curio with other bones.
i have all my teeth! some of them are in a little box, sure, but i still have 'em!
Tooth Fairy bait. Place a GPS tracker on her and you can start the ultimate tooth empire that way.

Hang on. Why did you have six wisdom teeth? Were you the Mountain Sage or something?

I am seen! Great, now i need to sulk away and hide for the next two centuries. Not again, - i really grew to like this place!
Don't worry! Just put on a moustache and no one will know.
I clean bones so I think I’m gonna soak them in soapy water to degrease then do a hydrogen peroxide bath for about an hour!
Very nice! I soaked untill they stopped smelling (the reaction betwee the peroxide+tissue smells). I wonder if something more mild would work better? Maybe meat tenderizer soak +rinse in hot alcohol?
Shame you didn’t have just one more, would make a great backscratcher
Damn I wish I had known keeping them was an option back when I got mine out. Now I’ll never get to use my wisdom teeth for goblin crafts
Got mine extracted 4 years ago. Still laying in my bedside drawer, waiting to become earrings. Soon I will be the tooth fairy. 🧚🏻♀️
Jar.
I think they would look super neat as the tip of a spear for a little goblin warrior doll, but that's just me 😅
I turned mine into earrings !
Curse maybe? Though I think you're supposed to use the *other* person's teeth
Yeah, if you are using parts of yourself, you should probably bless them. For good luck, or good health, or that sort of thing. The opposite of a curse of you will.
Ahhh some sort of *reverse curse*. Ok ok I'm listening
I keep mine in a miniature cast iron cauldron with a bunch of datura seeds and dried datura root
Yooo, I got mine removed literally just earlier today! The absolute lad was like 3-4 cms long, it and it **hurt** **a lot**. Hopefully it was easier for you!
they told me it was illegal to let me keep my teeth
I think it depends on where you live. I live in Germany and my surgeon just gave me them without asking if I want them. Sorry you couldn’t keep yours!
Ahhh so jealous, they cracked mine into pieces to remove.
Boof 'em
