I have no idea about how likely it would be to recover teeth in that manner....but it makes me remember the time when I was a kid and our dog ate a $20 bill! My dad followed her around the yard for days until he finally recovered a particularly colorful pile o' poop. Washed and filtered carefully until he had almost all the pieces of the bill recovered. Taped it together and put it into a plastic baggie....and took it to the bank to exchange for a fresh one. I don't know if he told the bank teller exacly what the bill had been through!


(Back in those days, $20 was no small amount of money, and we were always tight on cash...no effort was too small to recover that much money! )
