Milk Molars Locations
There are 29 different Milk Molars in the game. They are scattered around the Grounded Backyard to be collected and come in 2 forms: tooth or trapped vitamin-infused pulp. The tooth can be broken with an Insect Hammer and the trapped vitamin-infused pulp can be chopped free from the Soggy Roots with a level 2 dagger.
As Milk Molars are collected they can be traded with BURG.L by personal stats upgrades: max health, max stamina, max hunger, max thirst, or max mutation slots. My recommendation is to invest your Milk Molar points on max mutation slots first and then on max stamina. Below follows the list of all 29 Milk Molars names, its locations, and the video guide.

SUPPORT THIS GROUNDED GUIDE
There are 4 easy ways to show support to this content. Thanks for doing that and for reading this guide.
Hey, first of all it’s a great tutorial of everything.
You helped me a lot.
But isn’t there another SCA’B Scheme near the gutter?
I couldn’t find it.
maybe you can
With kind regards
Hi Gloro, I think you are referring to the old Sewage Sca.b. This Sca.b after being blocked by a rock for some updates changed location to one of the new Exposed Pipes. Let me know if my assumption is correct.
