A member asked:
What could happen if you filed your teeth (either down or into points) with a metal file?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Damage: The teeth would be damaged, and be more prone to decay and fracture. They would probably be sensitive to cold and sweets, making it difficult to eat. In the end, when you get tired of the vampire look, it will cost thousands of dollars to make them look normal again. Think twice about mutilating your teeth.
