I have overlarge front teeth. The teeth surrounding them are all normal sized and well-placed; my 2 front teeth don't simply appear overlarge because the teeth next to them are too high. I asked my dentist if he could file them down, and he said yes. When I went online for information, I saw a number of hysterical warnings about how filing leads to horrible permanent sensitivity, tooth decay, etc. But my sister had hers filed with no issues. How safe is filing? How much filing is too much?
