Grinding molars are not typically found in carnivores. Instead, carnivorous animals usually have sharp, pointed teeth designed for tearing and shearing flesh, such as canines and carnassials. These adaptations are suited for their meat-based diet, while grinding molars are more commonly associated with herbivores or omnivores that require flat surfaces for grinding plant material.
Molars are essential in the grinding of foods before swallowing.

Used for grinding food, molars are the teeth found in the back of your mouth and are usually the final teeth to erupt. Altogether, we have 12 molars, with six molars in each jaw, and three on each side.

Okay, I learned about this about three years ago, so bear with me. If I remember correctly, it's your molars that are used for grinding and chewing. They're the teeth at the back/sides (kind of) of your mouth and are kind of big and flat. I hope that helps. Sorry if I'm wrong.
