I am fairly sure that there is very-little information (even anecdotal) specifically regarding dentata vampir, and even less in respect of endcranial reception of radio transmissions by people with large canine teeth. Interesting....
The addition of amalgam fillings or orthodontic braces (presumably another very-rare aspect for concern in the annals of vampyrdom) can act as electrochemical ion path detectors for strong radio signals that are traditional 'AM' (amplitude modulated), but the advent of FM and digital transmission modes will make this much less likely as an occurence.
As well as the loose demonstrable capability for teeth/metal/saliva combinations to sometimes demodulate/detect radio signals, there have also been propiscious aspects of resonance and wavelength-matching, in such circumstances, which have permitted a degree of involuntary discrimination of specific strongest signals from amongst a jumble of co-channelled contenders.
The other final factor in this improbably-productive combination of "teeth radio" is the act of hearing via bone conduction across the temporomandibular joint, resulting then in transduction/acception by the inner ear.
I believe there is an undocumented aspect of hearing (both direct accoustic, and by extension, also psycho-accoustic misapprehension) wherein the mouth and throat play an important part in the instinctive perception/ differention/ identification of sound. Similarly, the cranial sinuses and outer ear cartilidge all play a part in hearing (and pseudo-hearing).
Back when cheap digital watches were an almost -compulsory western accessory, many would rudely and redundantly bleep on the hour, every hour. Such a social herd phenomenon became largely overtaken by the very earliest days of mobile phones (1980s, pre-mid), but to this day, certain unexpected double-time sqeeks of tonal similarity (generated conventionally, but not personally, though within my earshot) appear to my mind's ear to have just originated from my wrist, despite this being utterly not being the case.
This is a semi-Pavlovian obsolete reflex that I've failed to unlearn over even nearly 30 years...
It is very true that those 'of our ilk' and in years gone by, had no need of a dentist. However; the successful union with other 'Noble' lineages such as the 'Herritzens' of Vienna, has, unfortunately, had its downsides; problems with teeth being one such example. However; we have had little difficulty in finding a dentist who is sympathetic to our needs. In fact, I would say that the dental profession seems to be awash with bloodsuckers.
My late brothers problems, stemmed from his addiction to 'Sugared-Spiders', a rare delicacy created by my 'batman,' 'Renfield.'
