If you want to completely avoid the risk of being bitten or scratched for your trouble, you can simply observe as your cat naturally opens its mouth, such as during a yawn, while eating or while playing. However, if you want a quick glimpse of the insides of the teeth, you will need to force your cat's mouth open by applying pressure to the front part of the bottom jaw (just under the nose). Your cat will probably not be amused at this and will likely resist being restrained and examined.
If you suspect dental disease (cat's breath smells bad, cat not eating like normal, etc), the best option is to take your cat to a veterinarian. They are much better at seeing what needs to be seen and can have your cat restrained appropriately to look at the teeth. Dental disease in cats is fairly common, and most veterinarians are able to provide dental cleanings (similar to what you get at the dentist) to help preserve your cat's teeth.
