How do I make tooth white?

I have noticed overtime at the teeth on my doll have been getting more doll and a darker color does anyone have advice on getting them back to pearly whites again??

Well I've tried several methods, from paint, to more recently white liquid eye liner but I keep going back to the only thing that I'm personally happy with for photography and that's white powder makeup. The white eyeliner went on ok but in pictures the teeth just looked too white for my taste (I'm in the UK where we traditionally have poor teeth! So for now I'm sticking with the powder makeup which is easy to apply and very cheap.

Wheezer was starting to experiment with mixing oil based paint as well as powdered coloring into the 3M paste for a more permanent coloration effect on TPE

Ha ha, Panther, the whole English teeth thing always makes me smile, which is ironic as I've currently got 2 front teeth missing! Family guy love to reference it, whenever they have a Brit on the show they will have wonky teeth!

Really? With all the interviews and documentaries that I have seen of you, I never noticed it.

Ha ha, that made me smile even more as I probably had them back then! Actually I had one pulled about 2 years ago but more recently its been practically impossible to get a dental appointment due to covid restrictions and I had another lower incisor that needed pulling. I did try myself but was too chicken to yank it hard enough then a couple of weeks back I accidentally knocked it out while brushing my teeth, what a blessed relief that was! Still waiting for the covid restrictions to be lifted so the tooth fairy can come collect it!

I just realised that I should probably apologise to the OP as I was prattling on about my teeth thinking I was in one of my own threads! I suspect I may have been a bit loose with a couple of rules here so will have word with myself although in my defence I did answer the original question and to get back on track, as far as photography goes then white powder makeup seems to work well, unless you live in the US in which case white acrylic paint might be the way to go to avoid that 'English' look!
