What is wrong with the teeth? I did one this year too. Used the chemicals,,,Peroxide and whitening powder, from Tax-catalog. Liked the color. I kept the teeth natural color. If you want them lighter try peroxide and the powder. Peroxide may be enough by itself. Directions I got said to keep it off the teeth if you wanted them a natural color, so guess it would have whitened them too. I had a bear skull professionally done. Guess taxidemist did nothing to whiten it, cause as time went by it got more and more yellow. I mean real yellow. New to this so don't know if this would happen to deer skulls or not untreated? Bone is Bone?

Yes, the teeth will almost always retain some color no matter how much you bleach them. I like to take a saws-all with a long blade and cut under the eye socket to just under the nose piece. For me its easier to clean out the nasal cavity and it makes the skull sit a little flatter to the wall or plaque. :way:

Those are a little dark, but I personally kinda like some color on them.

Those are pretty dark, i let a buck i found sit in bleach water for a couple days and everything is white, the teeth on them are just as white also.

You are right. Before I bleached my deer skull I read you are supposed to soak it in Laquer Thinner, to get the fat out of the bone. I did it. Hope mine stays white.
