Should you bring extracted teeth even if your school doesnt require it?

The school said nothing about extracted teeth but should you bring some in case you want to practice or is this a waste of time and effort?

seriously?

It might not be a bad idea, they probably have you work on/buy fake teeth which cost money. I'd see if you could bring teeth to practice on cause they're free.

Just know that if your school doesn't work on extracted teeth, it might be due to infection control concerns...so check with the appropriate people before you blow in and start drilling the teeth you collected.

I have 100 or so extracted teeth that were sterilized for me, but UMD is pretty clear that I'm not to practice on them...for us, it's plastic teeth only.

I wouldn't bring them unless requested to do so. When you get to Endo they may want you to bring in teeth.
