How should extracted teeth be disposed of?

Extracted teeth without amalgam are infectious waste and go in the infectious waste stream for incineration or approved treatment. Teeth containing amalgam fillings must not be incinerated because of the mercury, so they go in the amalgam container instead. Teeth can be returned to the patient on request.
