I found that soaking the teeth in baby oil/ olive oil does alter the color of a tooth a lot. You can pre-determine the outcome by soaking the tooth in water first. What it looks like wet will be close to how it looks after putting it in oil. It made both of the teeth I tested this on look darker in color. I preferred the color of the tooth naturally without the oil bath. It's more of a personal preference as to whether you want your teeth to look natural or wet/polished. Something else I noticed is that the teeth are slippery/oily after a water rinse and rub-off with a towel. Hope this helps.

Something I noticed about a lot of the meg teeth I have found in Venice is that the bourlette is the dullest part of the teeth (the area in between the crown and the root). I applied some olive oil using a q-tip to the bourlette of one of my megs and it looks really nice. If you prefer to keep the natural color of the tooth and root, but want the tooth to look a little nicer, I would recommend just adding baby oil or olive oil to the bourlette. Just thought i'd share.

Ok I'm getting jealous over here. Too bad I had to work. You just wait until you have to work one day and I go divin.Did well yesterday
The one meg was totally encrusted - after the 'bath' i had to remove a chunk of rock that was attached to the root - underneath the rock the root was nearly white! Must have been attached to that rock for a LONG time.
Payback are in order here!!!! Great finds my friend.Similar threads
