CryoTooth Collection Kit Instructions

Your CryoTooth collection kit has everything needed to safely send baby or wisdom teeth to our lab. Follow the steps below, or bring this page to your dental appointment so your dentist or oral surgeon can follow along.

When your kit arrives

Freeze the cold packs right away

Take them out of the kit and put them in your freezer. They need to be frozen for at least 24 hours before the tooth is extracted.

Save the insulated return shipper

The insulated cold-shipper box your kit arrives in is what you'll use to send the tooth back to us.

A return label is included

You'll attach it to the insulated return shipper when you send the tooth back.

If a dental professional is collecting the tooth

Bring all kit components to the appointment, including the documents and the frozen cold packs. Ask your dental professional to follow the steps below. Plan to drop the kit off at a staffed UPS location before its latest cutoff for next-day delivery.

When the tooth comes out

  1. Save-A-Tooth-style container

    Place the tooth or teeth in the Save-A-Tooth-style container and secure the cap.

  2. Container sealed in the protective specimen bag

    Place the container in the protective specimen bag and close it tightly. (The bag is marked “biohazard.”)

  3. Sealed bag at the bottom of the styrofoam cooler

    Place the sealed bag at the bottom of the styrofoam cooler.

  4. Frozen cold packs around the container

    Surround the container with the frozen cold packs.

  5. Cooler in the insulated return shipper with the Donor Info Card

    Place the cooler in the insulated return shipper and seal the cooler with its cover. Don't forget to include the Donor Info Card.

  6. Sealed shipper with tape and return label

    Seal the insulated return shipper with packing tape and attach the return label.

  7. Drop-off at a staffed shipping location the same day

    Bring the kit to a staffed UPS location the same day, before the overnight shipping deadline.
