My sons infected tooth was pulled out, he wanted to keep it. the dentist said no, due to infection, is this common?

1 No that does not seem to be the common practice. However, I wouldn't let it worry me. With the MRSA and the staph infections out there today, the dentist is probably wise to dispose of it properly.As a matter of fact, it seems that destroying teeth that were removed because of infection SHOULD be the common practice.

2 It may depend on how much infection perhaps. Did he at least show it to him? Reminds me of saving teeth for the tooth fairy.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
