Are My Toddler's Teeth Normal???

The other day I noticed my two year old%26#039;s canine teeth are extremely sharp and pointed, almost like fangs. The teeth on the bottom row directly below her %26quot;fangs%26quot; have not fully grown in yet, but they also are razor sharp and pointed. Will her adult teeth also grow in this way?

Are My Toddler%26#039;s Teeth Normal???
That is the correct shape for canines, pointed and fang like. They may be sharp but will wear down with use, just as all teeth do. Take a look in the mirror, yours should have a point to them, if they are flat your grinding your teeth and need to have a night guard made. Your toddler is fine, trust me. Good luck!
Reply:I think it%26#039;s time to see a dentist; I never heard of that. I know their teeth becomes rotten around the bottom.
Reply:Adult teeth are always lager , and more dense. As you use your teeth they dull. I don%26#039;t believe you have anything to worry about.
Reply:Yes this is normal. My daughter is 5 and hers have smoothes out quite a bit and they use to be very sharp too when she was 2. I wouldn%26#039;t be too concerned. When she goes to the dentist for the first time ask about it and they can explain why.
Reply:Don%26#039;t worry, my little brothers teeth grew in very sharp too. When I commented on this my parents said I had very sharp teeth too, but they are fine now.





Let it go, if her teeth are sharp, their sharp. Her preschool classmates are going to ignore her and tease her because she had sharp teeth, it%26#039;s no big deal. There%26#039;s really nothing a dentist can do about it, I%26#039;m not sure if he%26#039;ll even agree to do something about it on such a young child.





I don%26#039;t think her adult teeth will be like this. Like I said, mine aren%26#039;t and mine with very pointy too.
Reply:The baby teeth come in like that, some are pointier than others but it is completely normal. They have to be sharp to break through the gums at the later age that they do, the gum tissue is very tough. The chewing/grinding that he does will wear them down a bit naturally. His permanent teeth won%26#039;t be quite as pointy!
