Probably referring to the canines.
- Incisors are flat and board, shaped like a shovel with a narrow straight cutting edge that enables them to cut food. The main functions of an incisor in the mastication process are biting, cutting of food into chewable pieces and moving it inwards in the mouth.
- Canines (located between the Incisors and Bicuspids/Premolars) have a sharp pointed edge that is used to rip and tear tough foods such as meat.
- Bicuspids (also known as premolars) are a combination between canines and molars. They are also known as bicuspids, because usually they have at least two cusps on their upper side. Bicuspids have a broader surface for chewing and grinding, but they also have some sharp points for piercing and ripping at the edge of the cusps. Their major role is to begin the crushing of foods before they are transferred to the molars for the final grinding.

How many tearing teeth are in human mouth?
We call these canine teeth or eye teeth. There are four all together. They are much larger in cats and dogs (hence the name) than in humans. The reason that they are also called eye teeth is because they are more or less in line with the eyes. That is better seen in cats or dogs than ourselves.

What is the name of the sharp molars that felines have?
The sharp fangs in an animal's mouth are all called canine teeth. The names of the teeth are incisors for cutting and snipping, canines for ripping and puncturing, premolars and molars for grinding and crushing. Felines and humans both have canine teeth. It would be too confusing to call them feline teeth in a cat and homo teeth in a human, so we call them all the name we first thought of by studying dogs - canine.
What are ant's teeth called?
Ants don't have teeth in the way that humans and other mammals have teeth. They have jaws called mandibles and maxillae, and those jaws have pointy bits on the part with which the ant bites. (Human jaws are also called mandibles and maxillae, but they are quite different.) The pointy bits on ants' jaws are usually called teeth, even by entomologists, the people who study insects. However, many such jaws have rows of teeth like a saw blade, and then we say that the jaw is serrated and the teeth may be called serrations. If you want to be technical, you can call one such tooth a dens, and could speak of dentes when there are many. Both words are from the Latin for tooth, from which we also get the word "dentist". If the teeth are very small, they can be called "denticles".
