Polar Bears have 42 teeth in total, which are used for catching their prey and ripping up the flesh for digestion. They use the incisors to shear off pieces of flesh and blubber. The canine teeth are used to tear through hides and grasp the prey. They use their jagged premolars and molars mainly for tearing the meat, but also for chewing, although Polar bears tend to swallow most of their food in large chunks rather than chewing it up first.

Adult Polar Bears have 42 teeth. They have canines that are larger and longer than any other bears, and both their carnassials and molars are sharper and used for shearing and biting, not for grinding.

Polar bears are carnivores. Like most carnivores, they use their sharp carnassial teeth to tear the meat off of their kill and then swallow it, without chewing. Raw meat is easier to digest than cooked meat or vegetation, and chewing meat is not necessary for most meat eating animals.

Bears have very interesting teeth. Their front teeth are very sharp for ripping meat, while their back teeth are flat for grinding fruits and insects.

Oddly enough, pretty much the same type and number of teeth as the average human, only with much larger cuspids (canines).

Bears like humans are omnivores.
