adjectives and after a noun
This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate avoir in the present tense in French (Le Présent)"

Raymond,
In this sentence, the 2 adjectives are occupying their usual position relative to the noun - ‘ longues ‘ preceding the noun and ‘ pointues ‘ following.
With multiple adjectives it is usual to place them in their normal position before or after the noun, as in ‘ des longues dents pointues ‘.
Routinely, if there are multiple adjectives occupying the ‘same’ position, before or after the noun, they will be separated by ‘et’ (or occasionally another conjunction such as ‘mais’).
