My secret hobby as a dental student

I just boiled my teeth collection.

Yeah, you've got it right.. ONE AND A HALF JAR FULL OF HUMAN TEETH.

With the entire set of equipment ready to go, i went to rinse my teeth thrice with water.

Then i placed them in a steamboat pot( those with 2 partitions which my mum found un-used at some corner)

Then, i poured dettol and some water into the pot.

TADAH....the fire starts to burn, the water starts to boil. Total time taken = 10 minutes.

After which i rinse the COOKED teeth.

TO MY HORROR, the BITS OF HUMAN FLESH remain UNCOOKED AND STUCK TO THE ROOTS.

WTH... i didn't know that thin layer of flesh takes longer than 10 minutes of boiling.

Now i have to think of new ways to get rid of it.

Imagine the amount of poisonous fumes i have to inhale in.. not forgetting that mercury is present in amalgam.

Good gracious, dettol fumes and mercury vapour?

Lucky i didn't do it in the kitchen, i did the boiling at some open area at the back yard.

Now they are out on newspapers doing their sun tanning.

Hope they dry soon, so i can pack them up and bring to school to ask Miss Han how to deal with stubborn human flesh that remains stuck on the teeth.

They are like about 2 kg?

Hai..

After that, i guess i will make use of my holidays to sort them out according to molars, incisors and what not.

Brr.. troublesome, but i like it.

Haha.. my secret fetish as a dental student.

I love my course, absolutely.

P.S: I said COURSE.
