my daughter wants to do a project that has to do with teeth. What can she use in place of teeth?

Although they are barely like teeth at all, people often use egg shells in science fair projects.
Believe it or not, she MIGHT be able to get a couple of teeth from your dentist if you ask...
It would help if you "add details" and tell us more about the project and we might come up with better ideas. We have no idea if she just wants some visual props or if she wants to dip the "tooth" in Coca Cola or what, so we can't give any meaningful suggestions.
People, you may as well tell her to cut them out of construction paper.

Get a dental mould of your child's teeth at the dentist. It might cost a little, but it will be fun for the project. You could just ask if there is one on reserve, too. It's like a hard clay form of your teeth and mouth done for braces and other dental needs.
You could get an X-ray done, too.

IF YOU WANT TO MIMIC THE CALCIUM (THE PROJECT MAY WANT TO TEST THE QUALITY OF TEETH ECT) THEN USE SEA SHELLS THEY WORK THE BEST. IF YOU JUS WANA MIMIC THE SHAPE THEN USE CLAY---ENAMEL COLOUR AND YOU GET THIS FROM A HOBBY SHOP.
PS GETTING TEETH FROM YOUR DENTIST MAY BE A BIT OF A PROBLEM WITH REGARDS TO THE TISSUE ACT THE PROHIBITS HUMAN TISSUE FROM BEING USED WITH OUT PROPER DOCUMENTATION ETC. IF SUM1 WANTS TO BE NASTY THEY CAN REPORT YOU.

She might be able to sculpt some very realistic teeth using polymer clay (Sculpey, etc.). Good luck to her!

Dentyne Gum worked for a friend we were able to shape them with a razor to make them look so real.

call any oral well-being practitioner or dentist. an oral well-being practitioner will often have the main uninfected tooth like impacted awareness tooth. call forward so they are in a position to have it waiting and sterilized. maximum will have no difficulty giving them to you considering we ought to pay to eliminate them.

i agree that she should try to use the air drying clay, can be found in art supply stores.. try to get white clay, or you can paint the clay white once it dries.
