Teeth Transformations
My dad made me realize something about oral transformations. Fantasy and Horror stories need to have characters teeth fall out when they're undergoing a transformation.
Why? Because of their Dentistry.
Imagine, for just a moment, what happens when a werewolf transforms for the first time. What happens to the dental fillings they'd gotten? The tooth caps? The replacement teeth?!
That wolf is gonna have a mouth fill of holes, exposed nerves, and maybe even missing teeth! Werewolves aren't only dangerous for being wolves, they're in pain!
And the Dentist bills!! The health insurance!
The easiest way to get around that would be to have the normal, human teeth fall out and be replaced with teeth that fit their new role better.
And can you imagine how much scarier a transformation would be like that? If the character put a had to their mouth while changing and pulled away with a handful of teeth?!
Think about that.
