Sell the teeth and buy some chemicals.

Maybe you'd get a better deal if you can find a Chemical Shop Owner who has an obsession with collecting Wisdom Teeth,

Mineral compounds are very hard to produce in a laboratory. See e.g. hydrothermal methods.

The stem cells in the teeth would be far, far more valuable than the chemical composition.

no, they're busted up from extraction, one is kind of together and they have been sitting in, calcium hydroxide mush/cake (it dried). i used some salts from a failed chloroform production (extraction, extraction of chloroform from insoluble CaOH).

the teeth were sealed in a glove since the surgery and possibly breedin g bacteria even though there were parts of blue disinfectant putty in with it. part of them, the most part, may have already dissolved from the soak. initially, i just untied the glove and put it in a caustic solution to let it soak.

i got some different liquids from combining past experiments i had, i don't really remember what they were a this point. i may remember. so i got some nice looking crystals in one cup and i don't know what they are. i remember transferring different liquids around that were all related. i remember adding something extra to one, it seems to have been a compound/s that i attempted making from slate and sulphur and 20 mule team BORAX with a blowtorch, grinded and boiled in water and decanted/filtered, then boiled dry (viscous and knocked/bumped alot)

they are like bubbly and shiny, i think they had contacted the teeth at one point. it may come back to me.
