Do vegetarians fangs (teeth) blunt because they aren't eating meat & where can I find evidence online?

Question:

Answers:
Logically thinking I don't think your diet will determine the wear and tear on your teeth. FYI the only time we meat eaters are likely to wear our Canines is if we were to eat raw meat straight off the carcass - and since (well I think I'm right) we haven't done that since man discovered fire - I don't think our canines will sharpen or blunt accordingly.
And, as we all chew our food when we eat, then it's more likely the molars (the large ones at the back) will show more wear and tear.
Therefore the imbalance of bite is more likely to be the culprit in this crime - if we tend to chew, and chew harder; on one side of the mouth than the other, then all the teeth on that side of the mouth will show more wear than the other - hence one canine appearing sharper/blunter than the other. Additionally, if you grind your teeth at night, as some of us poor unfortunates do, then again the tendency towards one side of the mouth will be more apparent as evidenced by the wear on those teeth being more pronounced
I should imagine that support for or against this theory will appear on any website to do with teeth wear and tear.

We don't just eat mush, you know! We eat all sorts of chewy things that keep our teeth in possibly better condition than meat eaters (no nasty little bits of meat left between the teeth to rot and fester and cause bad breath!).
