Hi,
My name if Jennifer. I am a student at
Appalachian State University majoring in Appalachian Studies. However, I
just left a 17 year career in dentistry, having worked for the University of
Michigan School of Dentistry, and the University of North Carolina School of
Dentistry. Students in these programs have
access to hundreds of human teeth. They generally acquire them from
patients who have had the teeth extracted at the school. If you are near a
dental school you might be able to obtain permission to view some of the
teeth. You might also consult a local dentist or oral surgeon for that
purpose. It is unlikely however that you will be able to "acquire"
any human teeth because of of laws regulating biohazard materials and
waste, and human teeth are included in this catagory.
It wouldn't hurt though to consult a dental
school if you have access to one. They may know something I
don't.
Good Luck. I am very interested in knowing
just what this project is.

Greetings!
Does anyone know how or where one could
acquire human teeth? Local artist working on installation for city project
needs "a bag full of teeth." Hundreds actually.
Any leads are
appreciated.
