A dagger does d4 damage. A dagger is not a small knife, it's like 8 inches of blade. Compared to that, a human bite should be like a d2 on the high side.
The stronger muscles of a human body is the one of their jaw. A bite can do serious damage. And when you dagger will cut or stab, your bite will ripe away skin and flesh.
If you bite an artery even a human can kill something. You can bite of a finger if you want to.
The problem is people only think of biting in " I chomp and then I let go" instead of " I bite and do not let go but pull bake so I tear that chunk of the person off".

Honestly it's all an abstraction anyway but I absolutely would not bring my chompers to a knife fight.
That's more about range though, isn't it?
I'm not sure, I think the stabber will do more harm per second than the chomper.

Have fun getting to that artery. If someone is not holding still for you it's extremely lucky to do that.
Especially while getting stabbed.
Hell yeah.
