I've seen this on the Discovery Channel(?), but in order to get the DNA extracted from a tooth, the tooth has to be destroyed/ground down into a powder. Just rubbing it onto something won't work.

You are telling me that a tooth, that was just removed from a putrified mouth of a carcass, would not have any skin cells, slime, slobber, anything in it that could be used to wipe on something?

$100 says if I pull your tooth, I can get tons of DNA off it! All I have to do is keep it in a small evidence bag that seals. THEY GET DNA OFF TOOTHBRUSHES !

I'm positive SD LE had no idea about DNA extraction
on a tooth! I thought the forensics dentist would
mention it, he didn't. I thought the ME would mention
it, he didn't. I thought *someone anyone* in forensics
would mention it (including Doosuk or Clarke), they
didn't.

But didn't they say, they couldn't get any of her DNA
from her toothbrush or hairbrush? Like, none of her
fingerprints were found in her own room?

Listening to LE forensics, one could guess Danielle
was just a figment of everyone's imagination.
