Please tell me if it is normal to have pointy canine teeth?

Yes: The general shape of the canine teeth are more pointier than other teeth because to, their function of tearing food. However wear on these teeth from your bite or habit can make them more pointy. Talk to your dentist about your concerns about the cosmetics and your bite.
