The two incisors on either side of the midline are known as central incisors. The two adjacent teeth to the central incisors are known as the lateral incisors.$

hola mate...!!

When we eat, our teeth tear, cut, and grind food in preparation for swallowing.

Each type of tooth plays a role in the chewing process:

(•)Incisors are the squarish, sharp-edged teeth in the front of the mouth that cut foods when we bite into them. There are four on the bottom and four on the top.On either side of the incisors are the sharp canines. The upper canines are sometimes called eyeteeth or cuspids.

(•) Behind the canines are the premolars, or bicuspids, which grind and mash foods. There are two sets, or four premolars, in each jaw.

(•) The molars, found behind the premolars, have points and grooves, and allow for vigorous chewing. There are 12 molars — three sets in each jaw called the first, second, and third molars.

(•) The third molars are the wisdom teeth. Because they can crowd out the other teeth or cause problems like pain or infection, a dentist might need to remove them.
