There are four main types of teeth. Each has a slightly different shape and function. The canine teeth in the corners of your mouth help you tear food. Also called cuspids, the canines are often the largest teeth in the mouth. Incisors are the teeth in the front and center that you use to take bites of your food. The premolars and molars are used for chewing and grinding food.
