Well... I would legit like to know how to get baby teeth marks out of wooden crib 

And like ... I  need to know by next Friday. 

That's easy.  Is it a wood grain finish or solid painted?

... is it actually wood?

Maybe cheap wood? 

The outer color looks like a really deep dark reddish brown wood but the bite marks scraped off some of the top layer and its bright tan underneath.

lol I assumed you were trying to sell it or something. 

Next time you see her, say, "hey I took another look at the crib and I realized there are more teethmarks than I thought. Do you still want it?"

Not sell it. I was giving it away. The miniature was literally only in it when I needed to take a shower or something and most of the time I brought his little rocking swing into the bathroom with me. The mattress is still in plastic 

 

But I guess he was in it long enough to practice being a beaver. If I can fix it, Id like to.

If you have deep gouges...

You want to go with a stainable wood filler:

Fill the spot and find a couple of stains, one that is lighter and one that is darker, with the same basic tone (reddish, brownish, tanish).  Apply the lighter first and then fade in the darker stain to get it closer to the right color match.

Sanding it down was my initial thought, but I don't know jack shit about this kind of stuff, so...

Neither do I. I suppose if I was on quarantine from job I would probably be finding this shit out with YouTube videos

Yeah, sanding down is a bad idea.  As long as you get the colors relatively close, you can blend spots.  Also, be sure to put a urethane coat on top to seal it.

I didn't see any one mention this yet. Sometimes on real wood, not fake wood, you can take a wet washcloth and put it over the dent, use a clothes iron and run it over it. The steam in some cases can bring the dents right back out. The urethane might still need to be reapplied.

It's certainly worth a shot.  I believe it works best on bare wood, but you might still get some benefit as long as the the wood isn't sealed.  You'll still need to put some fill in.

I just googled that answer this morning at work. I also just decided to buy another crib and mattress and call it a day. 

Thanks for the all advice though
