This week in my dental class we are learning about surgical tools and different dental surgeries.
We got to do cool things like learn how to do stitches on a hot dog and stuff but the coolest thing we got to do is take teeth out of a cow jaw! our teacher wanted us to see what it felt like for the doctor to extract teeth so that we would know how to help him.
Sorry i know it is pretty disgusting but it was awesome!
Cow teeth are weird. they aren't single teeth like ours they are all kind of fused together so we had to saw them apart. they were also really ground down.
Here is a picture of us working on the jaw. The surgical tools are HUGE compared to the regular tools use in dentistry.
And here is the final outcome. Look at those roots!
Sorry the pictures were so nasty but i hope you thought it was as cool as i did!
I have to admit, I think this is GROSS!!! But I am so proud of you for thinking it's cool :) That was one big ugly tooth! I never thought you'd be doing half of the stuff you are doing in that school! thought it would be a bunch of tooth brushing stuff and that would be the extent of it. You are definitely getting your moneys worth! (LOVE your kitty/tiger:)
