Types of teeth -

  • Incisors- At the front of the mouth are eight thin, straight teeth called incisors – four at the top and four at the bottom – which bite into the food you eat and help you pronounce words as you speak. Incisors also support the lips.

  • Canines- On each side of the upper and lower incisors is a single canine tooth, making four in total. Dentists call these slightly pointed teeth cuspids, and like incisors, they cut or shear food and support the lips. Another function of the canines is to help guide all the teeth into place when the upper and lower jaw come together.

  • Premolars- Behind the canines are the premolars, or, as dentists call them, the bicuspids. Premolars have a flattened top and are used to chew food and maintain the height of the face. There are eight premolars in an adult's mouth: four on the top and four on the bottom.

There are eight premolars in an adult's mouth: four on the top and four on the bottom. Molars -Next to the premolars are the molars. These are your widest, flattest teeth, and there are 12 altogether: six in the upper jaw and six in the lower. According to Navpreet Kaur & Ajay Nagpal in the Dental Research Journal, wisdom teeth as the four molars at the back of both the lower and upper jaws, and they're the last to erupt during young adulthood.

  • Supernumerary Teeth -Sometimes teeth develop outside of their normal process, and one example of this is supernumerary teeth. The normal tooth count in the adult mouth is 32, but more can appear; these are called supernumerary teeth.

  • Natal Teeth- According to the European Journal of Dentistry, the natal/neonatal teeth occur unilaterally. Also called fetal teeth, natal teeth usually appear in the lower gum.
