Accidentally shaved down tooth, what can I do?

Asked By:hellothere222 in London, ON

I have a bad habit of biting my nails and had recently got fake acrylic nails put on. To get them off, I bit them. This caused my left canine tooth to be flatter than the other. The right side is still pointy and I liked having pointy canine teeth. What are my options? Do I need to shave down the right side to match or can I do something else? Thanks in advance.
