- there are four types of teeth in our mouth that help us in mastication (chewing and thereby mixing food with saliva)
- incisors - by name itself we can say that thy act as scissors and these teeth help in cutting i mean biting the food.
- canines - these are the sharp teeth beside incisors that help in tearing the food or meat (in carnivores)
- premolars - these are the teeth next to canines in ones jaw that help them in grinding, munching the food.
- molars - these are the ones next to pre molars and are seen only in adults.even these help in grinding the food.
→ a typical human has around 32 teeth (adult) and children have some 20.
