Pacific Remains

idk how to word this so bear with me. when my puppydog was growing up, she'd lose her baby teeth and i wanted to keep them as keepsakes, kinda like what my mom did with some of my baby teeth when i was little and i put them in my old plastic mouse shaped tooth fairy box so i wouldnt lose them. this was a few years ago and i thought i had lost them

i did not lose them! i found them in my room, everything is still there but uh. theyre stinky smelly. not enough to stink up the place, but you can def smell them if you put them close to your face. i know i should was them off, but idk how to do that. do i brush them like i would normal teeth? do i soak them in something?? do i do both???

i dont wanna toss them, cuz its the first time ive ever gotten to collect my pet's baby teeth, but i also dont really know what to do with them. i could bury them if push comes to shove, but im also a lil worried my dog might find them and dig them up (not sure if she'd try to eat them or not but i dont wanna run that risk)

any advice is welcomed! thank you in advance, and i hope you have a wonderful day/night!
