If your potbelly still has her tusks, those can be filed, many times they are clipped out when they are babies.

But the rest of the teeth should be left alone.

If you feel that the teeth are causing the pig pain or changing her quality of life for the worse then it would be best to take her in to see the vet for professional advice.

What will happen if you do not trim overgrown guinea pig teeth?

Your not supposed to trim their teeth! All guinea pigs and other rodents, should be provided with somthing to chew on. In the wild, they gnaw on wood, and eat hard foods to wear their teeth down naturally. In captivity, people forget that these animals still need to do what they do naturally. Buy a chew log from your local pet store. DO NOT ATTEMPT to file your own guinea pigs teeth. If you are THAT concerned, schedule an appointment with a local vet that specializes in exotic pets. Guinea pigs are considered to be exotic.
