How do teeth in mammals differ from the teeth in non-mammals?
Teeth in mammals are typically differentiated into distinct types, such as incisors, canines, premolars, and molars, each adapted for specific functions like cutting, tearing, and grinding. In contrast, non-mammalian vertebrates, such as reptiles, often have homodont teeth, which are uniform in shape and serve similar functions. Additionally, mammalian teeth are embedded in sockets (alveoli) in the jawbone, while many non-mammals have teeth that are fused to the jaw. This structural and functional diversity reflects the varied diets and feeding strategies among mammals compared to non-mammals.

Do mammals have more teeth than reptiles?
Yes, mammals have more teeth that reptiles. The land mammal with the most teeth is the Giant Armadillo (Priodontes giganteus) with as many as 100 teeth. The average range for mammals however is 20-40. Reptiles rarely have many teeth, if any at all. The crocodile has the most, with around 80 teeth at a time. It replaces as many as 3000 in its lifetime, but this is over a long period of time.
What is it called when mammals have two different sets of teeth during their lifetimes?
The phenomenon where mammals have two different sets of teeth during their lifetimes is called "diphyodonty." Most mammals, including humans, first develop a set of primary teeth (also known as baby teeth) that are eventually replaced by a permanent set of adult teeth. This process allows for growth and adaptation of the teeth to the changing size and shape of the jaw.
