Tooth collection questions

Currently collecting teeth for dental school. I will need about 150 teeth-- for those who needed to collect, how long did it take for you to get enough? How many dentists/specialists did you contact for collecting teeth?

Any advice would be helpful-- I have no idea how to go about this lol. Thanks!

We were told to collect ~50. I reached to an oral surgeon and a gp I shadowed. They were very willing to help as they had to do the same thing when they were in school. I suggest reaching out to a bunch of dentists in your area, the more the better.

Reach out to oral surgeons, denture centers and corporate dental offices in your area. Back in the day I got mine from an oral surgeon tha used to keep them by the bucket full in his basement. When I called him he said bring a couple of jars.

Will it be okay to just email every nearby dentist?
