Hi murrindindi,
While you're right that African monitors possess "blunt teeth" but it's also important to note that they also have very "sharp teeth" in certain areas of those jaws. The crushing teeth are generally about a little less than half way down the jaw. The front portion of their teeth (top and bottom) are very sharp.
Diet plays a role in the teeth shape as well, no two monitors the exact same teeth. Cheers
