Human Teeth

Human Teeth can be divided due to:

the structure and function of the tooth:

·        incisors – they have the shape of a chisel; they are the sharpest and the smallest of all the teeth (though the bottom ones are smaller than the upper ones). They are used to bite food.

·        canines – they are conical shaped with a sharp tip , they are designed to tear food.

·        premolars – they are flattened with two cones separated by a furrow.

·        molars – they are the biggest and strongest and are shaped like a cube with at least three cones separated by furrows (premolars and molars are used for grinding and chewing food).

the generation of teeth:

·        Milk teeth - as a result of the first teething , there are 20: 8 incisors, 4 canines ,8 premolars 

·        Permanent teeth  –they grow during the second teething. There are 32: 8 incisors, 4 canines, 8 premolars, 12 molars.
