Step 5. Make new Layer and call it "darken". On this Layer you'll paint the parts of teeth that did not been painted in previous step because of Blending mode.

Step 6. Merge all visible Layers into one pressing Ctrl + Alt + Shift + E. Now we have to remove that shining on teeth. You simply pick brush tool (B), select Blending mode for brush to be Darken, pick a sample color from the tooth and paint over shining parts of teeth.
