42、ecial horseshoes. In fact, they need more than 8,000 of them each year. Every police horse in New York gets new shoes every month. Keeping these shoes in good repair is the job of six blacksmiths. There are only about thirty-five of these blacksmiths in the whole United States.The cost of shoeing a

49、ed out? A dentist may be able to put the tooth back in for you ,but you have to get to the dentist first. In the meantime, you have to store the tooth so that it will stay healthy.The simplest thing to do is to put the tooth back into your mouth, or you could put it on milk. Frank Courts, a dentist

50、at the University of Florida, worked with other researchers to find the safest way of keeping knocked-out teeth. He tried putting teeth into milk, into water, and into cell-culture medium(细胞培养液). He also tried just drying the teeth in the open air. He used teeth that had to be removed from peoples m

51、ouths for various reasons. The teeth were put into one of the solutions(溶液) or stored in the air for one hour. Then cells from the root of the teeth were scraped off the teeth. Dr Courts and the others then studied how healthy these cells were.The cell-culture medium worked best to keep a knocked-ou

52、t tooth healthy outside the mouth. However, few people keep cell-culture medium handy at home or in school. The next best thing was milk. But Dr Courts said that the best thing of all was to wash the tooth and put it right back into its socket(牙槽) in the mouth. For some people, though, this is just

53、too painful or upsetting. So milk will do, until you get your tooth (and your mouth) to a dentist.52.
