Our teeth play an important role in chewing, speaking, and smiling. There are four main types of teeth, each with unique characteristics.
Incisors: Front teeth, used for biting and cutting food.
Canines: Pointed teeth, help in tearing and piercing.
Premolars: Also known as bicuspids, these teeth crush and grind food.
Molars ( wisdom teeth): Flat, wide teeth for grinding and crushing.
In addition to these primary types, some people have:
Wisdom Teeth: Third molars, typically emerging between ages 17-25.
Supernumerary Teeth: Extra teeth, often smaller and misplaced.
Understanding your teeth's functions and types helps maintain optimal oral health.
