[Source]

The Tooth-Growing Spell (Densaugeo) is a hex which forces the victim's two front teeth to elongate, growing grotesquely at an alarmingly fast rate. It can also be used to transform a tooth or multiple teeth so that, when they are nearly gone and only the smallest pieces, a witch or wizard could return them to their original size. The Shrinking Charm can be used to counteract this spell.

PracticionersEdit

• Draco Malfoy
• Ted Tonks

EtymologyEdit

The incantation is derived from Latin "dens", which means "tooth", and "augeo", which translates to "increase" or "grow".

Behind the scenesEdit

• The hex is included in the "5 Spell Pack" DLC for LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7. In the game, the hex not only enlarges teeth, it also makes the victim wear groucho glasses.
