I'm not talking about my own, I'm talking about a full set of human teeth I have. I believe they were ripped out of some dead guys mouth, but not recently, because there are bits and peices of rotten gingiva on the tooth.

This is not a joke question, I'm a student in the Philippines, and these people are screwed up, and require me to have a full set of human teeth in my Dental Orientation class, in Pre-Dentistry. Anyway if anyone knows what I can do to make these teeth really clean, white and shiny looking tell me, and don't forget it doesn't matter how sensitive it would make the teeth, because buddy is already dead, and 6 feet deep.

scrub the teeth hard with baking soda and soak them in a mild aquious bleach solution, repeat baking soda, then polish them up with a tooth polish like pearl drops

Put the teeth is a glass (made of actual glass) and cover them with Clorox. Let them sit for 20-30 minutes. Shake the glass around so the teeth rattle around in the bottom after they have been sitting there that long. Run tap water into the glass to rinse off the teeth before you touch them. If they still have debris on them, repeat the procedure until they are clean.

Bleach will remove all the tissue and whiten them up. Use a mild solution overnight. Repeat if necessary.
I keep some extracted teeth for students to practice RCTs, and that's what they're kept in.
Don't leave them any longer than necessary, because sometimes the roots have gone blue after a long time.

Since teeth are covered in enamel I would try an enamel cleaner. Here are some links with different products you can try. I hope that helps. Good luck!
