You have 4 types of teeth. They are:
1.Incisors
You have eight incisors. They are in the front and the teeth you see the most. They are made for tearing food.
2. Canines
These are the pointy teeth right beside your incisors. You have four of these. They are for grasping and tearing food . When you bite into a piece of pizza, the incisors and canines work together to cut the cheese away! They are called canines because you often see them among dog's teeth.
3. Premolars
These are the next teeth you find as you go back along your teeth. They are the flat, stubby teeth that grind food down for swallowing.
4. Molars
Molars are behind premolars. They are wide and flat, perfect for grinding up food
