My cat's tooth is too long and looks bad. Is this normal? What to do?

My cats tooth has grown too much, i don’t understand why or what this means. I thought at first his top lip would just fold into his mouth making it seem like this but his tooth looks really bad. What’s should I do? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered

Many cats have one or more canine teeth that are overgrowing, fortunately it does not usually cause them any issues and they can live with it. i admit Tiger's tooth is extremely long though so if you think it is bothering him it might be a good idea to consider having it removed surgically by your vet.
