It seems like you have a pretty good idea of what your Rite will entail and even what you hope to accomplish. Aside from that, there seems like a smidgen of doubt in there somewhere. Might I suggest a divination? It may aid you in discovering the TRUE purpose behind this, any details that you haven't surmised thus far and possibly a more direct knowledge of exactly WHO you're working with.
Blood Magick is serious Work. Until you know exactly who is wishing this sacrifice of you, I'd say you might want to place a kind of psychic 'filter' on the blood and bone (In this case teeth). It's quite possible to give up the essence of self from these items and still offer up the Power necessary.
Working with other Gods is often fine but making a serious dedication to ones other than She who chose you, may be seen as an affront to Her. Definitely a divination. Just to be on the safe side. ;)
Of course, I may just be off my rocker here, so do what seems best to you.

That's precisely what I'm thinking. I have no illusions about the seriousness of Blood Work,
and I have no desire to offend Her if this isn't what She wants. I asked for a sign from Her last night, but got a curious dream instead: I was given a miniature Samurai blade by a man who told me to kill him with it. I chose to take the blade, but I couldn't strike directly.
I had to basicly carve him into shreds while he sat there and thanked me. There was blood everywhere, and when I woke up my arm hurt from the force I had to use on the sword.
I have no problem handling creatures and substances most people would find repellent,
but this was rather disturbing, even for me.
I'm either stupid or blind, because I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean.
I THINK it's a yes, because he DID give me a weapon, and even thanked me for butchering him, but it's just a weird way to say yes, savvy?
What do you think?

You were destroying the lower part of yourself, which is interfering with your progression. Blood is the life force of the energy that is fed upon, consumed and used.

Ok, that makes a lot more sense. I feel much better about this whole thing now.
I will go ahead as planned. Thanks for the help.
