Canines, molars, and incisors.
Similar teeth that an American Bison or a domestic cow would have.
The snipping and cutting you are speaking of is also referred to as "incising." This action is done mainly by the front four teeth on the top and bottom. These teeth are known as "incisors." The canines are the teeth just behind (or distal) to the incisors. The canines can help with cutting and snipping.
The four types of tissues found in the human mouth are epithelial tissue (lining the surface of the mouth), connective tissue (supporting the structures of the mouth), muscle tissue (allowing for movement such as chewing), and nervous tissue (providing sensation and control of functions in the mouth).
I think the word you may be looking for is bilophodont. If not maybe you are looking for their dental formula and that varies between species. No matter what "type" of teeth they have, the teeth have the same names as humans, that being: incisors, canines, premolars and molars
molars
No. You have teeth for grinding and different teeth for tearing.
The incisors, which are at the front of the mouth, have "chisel" type edges for cutting the food. The canines, which are pointed rather than chisel-like, lie next to the incisors, but further towards the "molars" at the back. Canine teeth are used for tearing the food (Think of the tiger ripping food from its prey.) Just to complete this, the "molars" are the larger, flatter teeth right at the back, and these are for "grinding" food, just as the word "molar" suggests grinding because the word "molar" comes from a language where its meaning is to do with mills.
Teeth help you chew your food, making it easier to digest. Each type of tooth has a slightly different shape and performs a different job. Types of teeth include:Incisors. Incisors are the eight teeth in the front and center of your mouth (four on top and four on bottom). These are the teeth that you use to take bites of your food. Incisors are usually the first teeth to erupt, at around 6 months of age for your first set of teeth, and between 6 and 8 years of age for your adult set.Canines. Your four canines are the next type of teeth to develop. These are your sharpest teeth and are used for ripping and tearing food apart. Primary canines generally appear between 16 and 20 months of age with the upper canines coming in just ahead of the lower canines. In permanent teeth, the order is reversed. Lower canines erupt around age 9 with the uppers arriving between 11 and 12 years of age.Premolars. Premolars, or bicuspids, are used for chewing and grinding food. You have four premolars on each side of your mouth, two on the upper and two on the lower jaw. The first premolars appear around age 10 and the second premolars arrive about a year later.Molars. Primary molars are also used for chewing and grinding food. These appear between 12 and 15 months of age. These molars are replaced by the first and second permanent molars (four upper and four lower). The first molars erupt around 6 years of age while the second molars come in between 11 and 13 years of age.Third molars. Third molars are commonly known as wisdom teeth. These are the last teeth to develop and do not typically erupt until age 18 to 20, and some people never develop third molars at all. For those who do, these molars may cause crowding and need to be removed.Your mouth is important. Don't take your teeth or oral health for granted. For good dental health, brush and floss your teeth regularly, don't smoke, eat a healthy diet, and see your dentist regularly for dental cleanings and checkups. A healthy mouth makes for a healthy body ... and a pretty smile.Source: http://www.everydayhealth.com/dental-health/101/your-mouth-101.aspx
The Four types of teeth and their functions are... (1) The Molars (back teeth) are used for chewing and grinding food. (2) The Premolars (bicuspids) have a flat biting surface, they tear and crush food . (3) The Canines (eyeteeth) have a sharp, pointed biting surface and has grip to tear food. (4) The Incisors (front teeth) are used for cutting food into small chewable pieces .
They have meat eating teeth or carnassial teeth. The large Canines are used for killing their prey and tearin meat off the bone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigers has a section just for Hunting and Diet.
They are 4 types of teeth : Molar - Teeth at the back that crush the food before swallowing. Canines - rip up the food. they are next to the incisors. Incisors - bite the food. they are at front of mouth. Premolars - mash our food while we chew. Z
