Detailed explanation-2: -In mammalian oral anatomy, the canine teeth, also called cuspids, dog teeth, or (in the context of the upper jaw) fangs, eye teeth, vampire teeth, or vampire fangs, are the relatively long, pointed teeth. They can appear more flattened however, causing them to resemble incisors and leading them to be called incisiform.

Detailed explanation-3: -In reality, pointy canine teeth are not creepy at all. They occur naturally because of your genetic make-up. The good news is that they do not cause dental problems. The bad news is that many people with pointy canines are dissatisfied with their smile.
