if you need to pick up a tooth what part should you pick it up by?(who 1a)
the ligaments
anywhere on the tooth is fine
the crown
the root
When picking up a tooth (e.g., for reimplantation or handling), the crown is the visible part above the gum, and picking by the crown avoids damaging the root or ligaments which are crucial for the tooth's attachment and viability. Picking by the root or ligaments can harm the tooth's structure or its ability to reattach, and "anywhere" is incorrect as improper handling can damage the tooth.
