What are the four different kind of teeth in your mouth?

Answer 1

Teeth help you chew your food, making it easier to digest. Each type of tooth has a slightly different shape and performs a different job. Types of teeth include:

• Incisors. Incisors are the eight teeth in the front and center of your mouth (four on top and four on bottom). These are the teeth that you use to take bites of your food. Incisors are usually the first teeth to erupt, at around 6 months of age for your first set of teeth, and between 6 and 8 years of age for your adult set.
• Canines. Your four canines are the next type of teeth to develop. These are your sharpest teeth and are used for ripping and tearing food apart. Primary canines generally appear between 16 and 20 months of age with the upper canines coming in just ahead of the lower canines. In permanent teeth, the order is reversed. Lower canines erupt around age 9 with the uppers arriving between 11 and 12 years of age.
• Premolars. Premolars, or bicuspids, are used for chewing and grinding food. You have four premolars on each side of your mouth, two on the upper and two on the lower jaw. The first premolars appear around age 10 and the second premolars arrive about a year later.
• Molars. Primary molars are also used for chewing and grinding food. These appear between 12 and 15 months of age. These molars are replaced by the first and second permanent molars (four upper and four lower). The first molars erupt around 6 years of age while the second molars come in between 11 and 13 years of age.
• Third molars. Third molars are commonly known as wisdom teeth. These are the last teeth to develop and do not typically erupt until age 18 to 20, and some people never develop third molars at all. For those who do, these molars may cause crowding and need to be removed.

Your mouth is important. Don't take your teeth or oral health for granted. For good dental health, brush and floss your teeth regularly, don't smoke, eat a healthy diet, and see your dentist regularly for dental cleanings and checkups. A healthy mouth makes for a healthy body ... and a pretty smile.

Answer 2

You have 4 types of teeth. They are:

Incisors

You have eight incisors. They are in the front and the teeth you see the most. They are made for tearing food.

Canines

These are the pointy teeth right beside your incisors. You have four of these. They are for grasping and tearing food . When you bite into a piece of Pizza, the incisors and canines work together to cut the cheese away! They are called canines because you often see them among dog's teeth.

Premolars

These are the next teeth you find as you go back along your teeth. They are the flat, stubby teeth that grind food down for swallowing.

Molars

Molars are behind premolars. They are wide and flat, perfect for grinding up food.

Answer 3

The 4 types are the incisors, canines, premolars (bicuspids), and molars.

So called "wisdom teeth" are tertiary molars that appear well after the 28 permanent teeth, and can sometimes compensate for the loss of a rear molar.
