My question may be too funny. But I wonder if shaping your teeth with
nail sandpaper works. I have a friend who think his canines too sharp
smooths them using a nail file very often. Will it really work?

Yes but this should be done by a professional.

Remember, you can take some off but you can't put it
back if you go too far. The dentist on the other hand
knows how to do this without damaging the tooth.

Which one is harder tooth or nail?
Is nail file hard enough to take away tooth?
I thought tooth is as hard as diamond.

Tooth structure is harder than fingernails.

Yep.

it works good at sanding down your cornea as well. Who needs the lasik
machine, just use sand paper and get perfect vision.

Just go to home depot and get yourself a dremmel then you can grind
the heck out of your teeth since you seem to know where and how much
you can grind without ill effects. I'll be available to repair the
damage you caused to yourself, meanwhile I hear they are having
auditions for the "JACKASS 3" movie you should get that filmed.

big mistake in a sarcastic type of way.

I'd not want to file on my own teeth. As a non-dentist, I'd be
concerned that filing would remove the enamel, and leave
unprotected inner tooth. It sure seems like a bad idea, to me.

But then, some folks think I don't have much sense of adventure.
