Names and functions of teeth

 

We have different types of deciduous teeth: incisors, canines, first molars, and second molars. Each tooth has four types of surfaces. They are the inner surface, outer surface, chewing surface and adjacent surface. These different types of teeth have various functions:

Incisors – to cut food like a pair of scissors.

 

Canines – to tear food like a fork.

 

First molars – can grind food.

 

Second molars – larger than first molars, can grind food like first molars do.
