My right cainine tooth is round, and my left is really long and sharp, what should I do, is this normal?

It might be due to the way the tooth developed, or the way you bite down on one side compared to the other. If it bothers you a lot, you could go to a dentist and ask them what they'd suggest - if it's a developmental thing, they could adjust the shape of one or place a veneer. If it's because of your bite, they'd have to correct that first.All the best!
