The two holes in the mandible are known as the mental foramen and the mandibular foramen. The mental foramen is located on the anterior surface of the mandible and allows the passage of nerves and blood vessels to the lower lip and chin. The mandibular foramen is situated on the medial surface of the mandible and provides an opening for the inferior alveolar nerve and vessels, which supply the lower teeth. These foramina are important landmarks in dental procedures and anatomy.
