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.
