What happens to Marla's tooth?
In the movie, I care a lot, Marla Grayson is tortured and one tooth is punched loose as the result.
She takes that tooth out of her mouth and put it in a jug of chilled milk.
Then what happens to it? The tooth looks like a part of future plot and it is no-where to be seen again.
Best Answer
She visits the dentist that very same night and you see her in the dentist chair having the tooth re-inserted. The scene is at about 1 hour 29 minutes into the runtime.
You see her looking at Fran in bed as she leaves, the time is 2:11 am on the bedside clock. Then you see her waiting with the milk jug outside the dentist office and it is still dark. Finally we see a few seconds of the tooth being re-inserted.
Apparently keeping a tooth in milk can help keep it 'alive' enough to be re-implanted in the mouth if the duration is quite short.

Why did she put her tooth in milk?
Place it in a cup of milk to prevent the tooth from drying out. The logic behind placing a knocked-out tooth in milk is quite simple. To start, the cells of the tooth root's surface don't swell up and then burst. This happens when you put the tooth in water.How long can teeth survive in milk?
