Mammals have triangular teeth also known as canines, to chop into tough foods. And flat teeth, molars, to crush food in small bits. But it depends on what the animal eats. For example, carnavores have long, pointed canines to bite into meat while herbivores have wide, flat molars to crush the vegetation they consume.

What are heterodont mammals?
Heterodont mammals are animals that have different types of teeth in their mouth, such as incisors, canines, premolars, and molars. This dental diversity allows them to have specialized teeth for different functions, such as tearing, gripping, grinding, and cutting food. Examples of heterodont mammals include humans, dogs, cats, and many other species.
Do mammals have more teeth than reptiles?
Yes, mammals have more teeth that reptiles. The land mammal with the most teeth is the Giant Armadillo (Priodontes giganteus) with as many as 100 teeth. The average range for mammals however is 20-40. Reptiles rarely have many teeth, if any at all. The crocodile has the most, with around 80 teeth at a time. It replaces as many as 3000 in its lifetime, but this is over a long period of time.
How do teeth in mammals differ from the teeth in non-mammals?
Teeth in mammals are typically differentiated into distinct types, such as incisors, canines, premolars, and molars, each adapted for specific functions like cutting, tearing, and grinding. In contrast, non-mammalian vertebrates, such as reptiles, often have homodont teeth, which are uniform in shape and serve similar functions. Additionally, mammalian teeth are embedded in sockets (alveoli) in the jawbone, while many non-mammals have teeth that are fused to the jaw. This structural and functional diversity reflects the varied diets and feeding strategies among mammals compared to non-mammals.

Are mammals classified by the position of their teeth?
The shape of teeth is much more significant than the position, which is generally quite similar; teeth are in the mouth (sharks also have tooth-like structures in their skin, called dermal denticles). And tooth characteristics are only one of many anatomical features by which mammals are classified.
