Premolars - are transitional teeth located between the canines and the molars at the rear. They have 1 or more cusps (points) and are generally used for grinding and crushing. But they may also be used in slicing food.

Molars- have many major cusps (e.g., 3-5) and are located in the back of the mouth on the cheek side. Molars function in grinding and crushing.

What does it mean if premolar is shaking with 10 year old kids?

If a premolar is shaking in a 10-year-old, it often indicates that the tooth is in the process of being replaced by a permanent tooth. This is a normal part of dental development as children typically begin losing their primary teeth around this age. However, if the tooth is excessively loose or causing pain, it may be worth consulting a dentist to rule out any underlying issues.
