How many teeth do we have in our mouth? Classify them into various types. What kind of function do they perform?​

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 4 types of teeth in the oral cavity

Explanation:

Incisors – The four front teeth in both the upper and lower jaws are called incisors.  Their primary function is to cut food.  

Canines – There are four canines in the oral cavity. Two in the maxillary arch and two in the mandibular area.  

Premolars (Bicuspids) – These teeth are located behind and adjacent to the canines and are designed to crush food.  There are eight premolars in the oral cavity.  

Molars – The most posterior teeth in the mouth are the molars.  They have broader and flatter surfaces with 4-5 cusps.  They are designed to grind food.  Mandibular molars typically have 2 roots.
