Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sunseeker" data-source="post: 5398327">IMO, it would depend on how you want to play it. First off, Werewolf teeth are NOT what "infects" people, because mythologically speaking, it's not a disease, it's a curse.  That's why bites, scratches, and other werewolf inflicted injury can all cause the transformation. Secondly, even if we limit curse-spreading to bites, the teeth are oversized wolf teeth, they are not hollow like a snake's. If we assume that it is viral, and not a curse, or a curse that works like a virus, then it is usually by taking in some of the werewolf's fluids(get your minds out of the gutter, though that could work too), such a saliva or blood.   Being viral, most viruses die without a host, or go into a state of dormancy, that said, some can live for extremely long periods of time in dried blood and saliva stains, which if you didn't clean the teeth, would still exist, though their ability to infect others would be greatly reduced. Generally curses end when their subject is killed, so if it was a curse, or a viral curse, then the teeth should be just big ol' teeth after death. In the OP, you say you pull the teeth before you kill it.  In such a case, regardless of what lore you use, I would say playing dentist is the most sure-fire way to get infected.  IMO, the teeth would still not do anything after death though.</blockquote>
