The hamster should be taken to the vet for a trimming. If the teeth stay this way, the hamster will eat a lot less because it would be too painful to eat.
There isn't really any other way you can get the teeth smaller, but once they are small you can provide a variety of chewing toy. Also, its food could have some hard bits that might take some time to chew. You can also feed the hamster hard vegetables/fruits such as carrots.

If a hamster bites you and you start to bleed does this mean their teeth are to long?
I'd highly doubt it. I got a baby hamster a while back, and stupidly started sticking my finger in the cage to see if she'd smell it. When she did, she bit it and my finger bled pretty bad.Baby hamsters' teeth can't be too long, so I wouldn't worry about it going off the fact you're bleeding.I would check with a vet if you are concerned tho, it can be uncomfortable for them if the teeth are a bit too long.
