How do teeth chew stuff?

If you have all of your teeth, at the front of your mouth (top and bottom) are the "incisors" (think of "Scissors"). They "cut up" our food because those teeth are shaped like chisels. By the side of those you have "canine" teeth (think of dogs' teeth; dogs are canines). These teeth are like fangs and are more pointed so that you can "tear up" your food. Further back are the "molars" and they have a larger flatter area where the top molars and bottom molars can grind food between them. That last part is the "chewing" process.
