Preserving Teeth

[upstart]

Hi Everybody,
I had 6 wisdom teeth out today and I got to bring them home. Lucky me. Right now I'm bombed up on the painkillers so it's not too bad. And typically this weekend has 5-10 knots of wind that I can't take advantage of.
Anyway, anybody got any advice on how to preserve these teeth? Does anyone do fish jaws? would the same techniques work?
Thanks for your symapthy.
Ben.

lmao,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

seriously tho,,,, if you want to give them to a good cause,,,, old ernie down the road from me might be intro'd,,,,,, he lost his falsies about 4 years back and can't afford replacements

or you could try converting them into these,,,,,,,,,,,,, handy knuckleduster,,,, or lucky charm,,,,, would make a nice pressie in time for chrissie perhaps

6 Wisdom teeth ? I thought we all only had 4.. anyway.. best bet would be to cast them in some clear resin, then give them out as paper weights to the relatives at Christmas time.

Or keep them in Metho, in the drawer, one day you might have a molar decay on you and you can tell the dentist to upgrade you.

Hope you feel better soon.. and the fishing will be spot on this weekend ;D

[BaitThrower]

yeah how did you get 6 wisdom teeth?

[finga]

I reckon I could find 6 in me.
4 upstairs and another 2 elsewhere.
I'll try to explain....
Now.... my 'posteria' is HUGE and the cook reckon's I'm fairly smart (maybe read those 2 descriptions the other way around and you'll also realise the cook's a sheep short of the top paddock) so in theory I have a smart posteria, or words to that effect.
Now because my posteria sometimes, unwillingly, eats my King-gees it (my posteria that is) must be hungry.
Now we all know to eat something you usually need teeth so in theory I might be able to pull 2 wisdom teeth out of my posteria.
If it wasn't so large I'd only be able to pull 1 out of it. :(

Thanks for the tips fellas. Apparently i'm one of those rare breeds who would have done well back in caveman times with these extra teeth ready to come down in the event of losing some. So, I had two on each side on the top and one each side on the bottom.
At the moment they are in the jar in the fridge. I reckon i'll just give em a good wash in the sink and then leave em in the sun for a few days. Hopefully they don't go too stinky.

I cant give you a difinitve answer... but I do know that human teeth jsut sitting arround in the open air will degenerate over time and eventulay crumble away.

the best person to consult is problay a taxidermist.

I imagine you will need to impregnate them or laquer them to seal em up.

cheers

Ask didley. He's the tooth man.

Dont leave your teeth too long in the sun with fresh air, they can sometimes crack...

Gees somebody tell 'The Old Legend'. His teeth are in mortal danger.
His gums are always flapping so they must see plenty of the vitamin D and air.


Well at least they flab a fair bit when-ever I see him anyways ::)

A tip on preserving teeth is to avoid telling a samoan rugby league front rower he's a pansy

[littlejim]

When I was a dentist and wanted to keep them I just put them in alcohol. metho will be fine. If you want to de-bug them put them in diluted bleach for a few minutes. Six is pretty good going, but some people get given a few supernumeraries.

best bet would be clean & dip in some clear varnish.

We preserved pig tusks by soaking them in hot liquid paraffin wax and then letting them cool in the mix so they soak it up.

I have a set of tusks I shot about 35 years ago and they are still looking OK !

6 wisdom teeth ??????????????? 6 ????

And had 'em all out on the same day ??????

O you poor bastard !!!

Geez, if I lost that many wisdom teeth, I'd be a complete idiot.

.....................O yeah.....................I forgot ................

I'd be interested to know what setup you'd use.;)

Strewth Finga, that's a bit brutal, isn't it? And then, to add insult to injury, Choppa gives you a "Thank You" for your unkind comments!!

Bloody hell, I'm wounded!! Mortally wounded.

Well What I used to do was make gear stick knobs out of resins and put interesting things in them like spiders, scorpions and animal teeth, so why not human teeth?

Use a small rat tail file to remove the base of a light globe, it makes the perfect mold. Put a little clear resin in, then as it sets, your object.. pour some more clear on it and let that set, and have 3 stubbies (excellent timer)

Next, mix some colour, we used to use line marking chalk, and more resin. Pour this into the globe, and then leave it on the bench to set, and have another stubby.

Next day, depending on beers consumed the previous day, tap the glass over a bin and remove all traces of the globe.. Use a drill press and drill down the centre of the job, about half way, then run a tap down this.. Leave it on the drill press and run various wet and dry's over it until it's nice and smooth. Then some car polish

All my mates and I drove the crappiest cars, but we all had excellent gear stick knobs, custom made with red backs and other beasties in there.

So that's the ones where a new chum gets in & shits their pants when they go to put their hand on the gear shift for the first time.....................?????

then spend the rest of the trip looking................just to be sure..????

Damn, ..............I think I know you.

Yes Don..any wonder I couldn't keep a girlfriend while I had the Red back panel van ? Sigh.. they were good days them ;D
