Tom, Soak in salt water a few days, maybe?-Aaron H.
Thanks for the advice Aaron
its natural
I have had some luck with soaking teeth in a diluted bleach/water solution, and sometimes hydrogen peroxide will work. Bleach dilution has always worked for me, but don't mix the bleach too strong, or leave the teeth in too long or the solution will start dissolving the teeth and bone! I usually use 1 part bleach to 10-15 parts water.
the teeth are fine , natural when the animal was harvested , but if not removed from the skull and cleaned right away they can develope an internal reddish or pink color , not an external stain, the internal color is what i want to get rid of, thanks again
Tom its bloon stain when you Lung shoot a deer they always bleed a little (or a lot)out of the mouth peroxide or bleach should clean them Jerry
