Jack's teeth

Human Captain Jack Harkness's teeth (TV: Utopia)

Teeth were part of the anatomy of most species. Their shape varied from the flat and short teeth of species such as humans, to the pointy teeth of species like the Futurekind, to the long, sharp teeth of species like Multi-forms. The humans of Silo 16 used this anatomical difference to differentiate between human and Futurekind. (TV: Utopia, The Eleventh Hour) Sharp teeth left "tooth marks". (TV: Mindwarp)

Upon his regeneration, the first thing the Tenth Doctor remarked on was his new teeth — "That's weird". (TV: The Parting of the Ways) River Song also remarked on her teeth immediately after one of her regenerations. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler)
