random werewolf thought of the day

[ratcreature]

So werewoves in fiction generally are good at regeneration, also they tend to grow canines when they shift. Do you think when an adult human gets bitten and transforms into a werewolf form for the first time they regrow any missing/crowned teeth?

I mean that has to be a common issue, because most adult humans have at least have a crown or two by their thirties, often earlier, yet I can't remember ever seeing a scene in werewolf fiction where the newly made werewolf has to spit out their now obsolete dental implants...

The worst case scenario would be though if the transformation wrecked all your human dental work but when you are back to human you don't keep any of your werewolf teeth, just the ruins of your human teeth. No way you could keep crowns.

Well, they'd almost have to, unless a werewolf has a human-shaped jaw and teeth.

Or unless the transformation is really 'magical' and less 'physiological.' Like, human -> cloud of mist -> werewolf!

They might heal their human parts in the process though. Like the first time they transform they have to spit out their crowns that got pushed out by their newly improved werewolf fangs, but going back they regrow their human bits in a healed, ideal state, like all ailments, including rotten teeth are fixed.

And if that is not the case you certainly don't want to become a werewolf after you had a hip orkne replacement...

But, you know, if it's the kind of magical transformation where you go from a human with all your clothes on to a naked werewolf and then back to a human with all the clothes on, then I can see one's hip replacement surviving the transition.

Yeah okay if the clothes are kept on standby in some pocket dimension there artificial joint ought to stay there too...
