A member asked:
Have a loose tooth(#15,upper inside left).my dentist&periondontist told me to remove this tooth cuz it lost its bone.can i keep it for future use(implant,bone grafting,tooth/bone regeneration,creating a new tooth..).if it has a filling,can i use it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Extracted Tooth: An extracted tooth has no value... it cannot be reused and it cannot be used to create a new tooth. The filling is also worthless. If it has a crown with precious or semiprecious metal, the crown may have a scrap gold value of about $10.
