I guess that trolls solve this problem by plombing, in the French sense

of the word: IMO a lead repair would be perfectly in order for a troll.
The canines are used on soft food only, anyway (such as life meat - why
snap at vegetables other than bipedal ones?), any other food would be
treated like humans treat sugarcanes - put them between the molars and
break off whatever doesn't fit into the mouth at once...
I guess you'd need a specialist spirit cult. A troll tooth fairy?
Repair shouldn't work on teeth, otherwise bone fractures could be cured
that way as well. (And Repair leaves a weakness anyway - after a couple
of repairs the tooth won't hold if you bite into soft cake...)

Neither should "Regrow Limb" be required, nasty rumours in Tales
nonwithstanding.
