Re: dental gold?



I had a tooth extracted today. It had been crowned with gold. They
gave me
back the gold crown, tooth still in it of course.

I seem to recall hearing that Coca-Cola actually dissolves teeth. Is
that
a workable solution to removing the old tooth from the gold crown? Is
there a better one?

That's kind of what I am thinking. I'll try that tomorrow, let you know
what happened.

A propane torch will just burn out the tooth from the gold.

Beware mercury fumes. The gold in crowns may be or contain mercury-gold
amalgam, not just gold-copper casting alloy.

why not tap with a hammer and break up the tooth - the gold is maleable and
the tooth is not
