Anatomy of our Teeth

The function of teeth is to chew  the food so that It can be digested easily.

We have four types of teeth and each of those teeth has their own specific function.

Molars (back teeth)-these are  used for chewing and grinding food.

Premolars (bicuspids)these have a flat biting surface, they tear and crush food

Canines (eyeteeth )have a sharp, pointed biting surface to tear and crush food.

Incisors ( front teeth) are used for cutting food into small chewable pieces.
