My crank set seems to be wearing down and getting the shark tooth look people references. I do not have any gear skipping and my chain seems fine based off my park tools chain checker. Is there anything I need to do, is it wearing anything else down quicker? Thanks!

The chain tends to wear first, which in turn wears the crank ring and cassette.
Depending on which chain checker you have, it may not actually be doing anything for you.
Standard advice tends to be to replace the chain, ring, and cassette, which can be expensive. You could try just the ring for now and see what happens, but a new ring on a worn chain can create problems.
I believe noise is what you;d see with a worn ring, not skipping like on a cassette
Those x-sync 2 chainrings have a degree of shark tooth about them when new, designed to help retain the chain on single ring setups. Nothing to worry about yet.
Thats not shark tooth wear at all
