The Different Classes of Teeth

The basic structure of a tooth consists of the crown and the root. But the similarities end there, no teeth is alike to the other in shape and design.

Key takeaways:

  • Incisors are the teeth at the front of the mouth and are the sharpest. Incisors are used to cut food and shovel it further into the mouth.
  • The molars are the biggest teeth with a flat chewing surface to that helps to chew and grind food into small pieces.
  • Canines are found in the corner of the mouth and have long roots. They are used to grasp and tear food.

Premolars are located just behind your Canine teeth. Premolars have a more flat chewing surface because they’re meant for crushing food.
