I Have A Few Pointy Teeth. Can They Be Filed Down To Be Level? Would This Make My Teeth Sensitive?

Friday, August 15th, 2014
Q.

Hey Dr Hughes, I have a tooth that sticks out so whenever I smile you can see it creeping out. It’s so annoying. It’s on the top left hand side and slightly come out over my middle tooth. Can anything be done about this? Could it be filled down or something? Also I have a few of pointy teeth on the top and bottom can they also be filed down to be levelled? Would getting anything of this sort make my teeth sensitive? I once had my teeth whitened and my teeth really hurt so much, like a shocking pain for 2 weeks. Also how much would this cost me?

Thank you for your time. I hope to hear from you soon. Regards.

Would me fang tooth that sticks out require tooth straightening or cosmetic dentistry?

Hi, I have a fang tooth on the upper left hand side of my jaw which sticks out and affects my smile. The rest of my teeth are nice and I would just like this tooth to be pushed down and put into alignment with the rest. However, I don’t think the gap is big enough for it to be pushed down which may be why it sticks out.

Would this require tooth straightening or cosmetic dentistry? Please can you advise the options open to me.Thank you.
