Corrected entry: The electricity from a common light bulb would hardly be enough to shock someone, even if applied directly to Jaw's teeth, especially if the bulb is broken taking away the vacuum with which an electric current could carry most ideally. Besides, Jaw's natural teeth would not be able to conduct the electricity from his metal teeth that well anyway.

Correction: May I suggest that the poster applies the "electricity from a common light bulb" to his teeth if he or she is so sure. The purpose of the vacuum in a bulb is prevent oxygen from coming in contact with the element. With the glass broken, the element would very quickly burn up giving the electrical current nowhere to go except Jaws' teeth. Agreed they would be poor conductors but electrical shocks that close to the brain can be pretty disruptive even at low voltage / current.
