Can I take the extracted tooth with me?

Hello, this is Live People😊

“Can I keep the extracted tooth and take it home❓”

This is a question we get a lot~

The answer is 👉 NO! An extracted tooth is classified as medical waste under Article 2, Paragraph 5 of the Waste Control Act.

So you cannot take it home, and the hospital must dispose of it safely🙅‍♀️

And another thing people often ask about is gold crowns✨ You may wonder, “Since it’s gold, can I get it back separately?”

Unfortunately, gold crowns are also disposed of as medical waste along with the tooth. Once it is bonded to the tooth, it must be handled the same way under the law!

💡 Summary!

Whether it is an extracted tooth or a gold crown, both are safely disposed of according to the law. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask anytime💙
