Noddy24- Click on "Scientific American"

Hey, just think of the possibilities. Instead of a kid getting a buck for his lost tooth, he could send it to a lab, and maybe make a lot more! Very Happy

Thanks, Phoenix.

Are "wisdom teeth" now obsolete--or just ossified?

I shudder to think of the potential for abuse by warped dentists and greedy parents. On the other hand, there are 28 teeth for every baby and supply and demand might keep the price down.

not all baby teeth fall out - just the front ones - 12 per kid?
