Names of the teeth:Incisors - They are the "cutters", the 8 teeth you see when you look into a mirror.Cuspids (also called Canine Teeth, Eye Teeth, Vampires) - These 4 pointer teeth have one point. In wild animals they are for killing and dragging their prey.Bicuspids (2-points) - There are 8, also called Premolars, which are for grinding. They have funny-shaped roots, and a number of dentists hate extracting them since breakage and damage to nearby teeth (often the adjacent bicuspid) are common.Tricuspids (3-points) - There are 8, also called MolarsWisdom Teeth (Also called 3rd molars) - There are 4. They are shaped roughly like bicuspids but are shallow like baby teeth, have only one root, and are behind the molars. Many people have these pulled or cut out as soon as they get them, especially if they have problems with them or have had orthodontic work. Impaction is a common problem with these teeth, though impaction is not always painful. Sometimes an impacted wisdom tooth can cause a molar to shift out of alignment.Artificial Teeth - These are in the form of dentures, partial plates, and implants. These replace teeth that were lost due to accidents, age, and neglect. Dentures are full plates of teeth that are inserted into the mouth each day or as needed. Partial plates are similar to dentures and worn as needed, but they only replace some of the teeth. Implant teeth, while more expensive and take more work to make, can replace any number of teeth, and they are a permanent solution (for roughly 20 years). Implant dentists drill into the jaw to attach screw studs (usually titanium) and then attach crowns to the posts.
