Expert Answer
There are four types of teeth in human beings. They are incisors, canines, premolars, and molars.
(i) Incisors are the chisel-shaped teeth at the front of the mouth. The incisors are for biting and cutting the food.
(ii) Canines are the large, pointed teeth just behind the incisors. The canines are for piercing and tearing the food.
(iii) Premolars are the large teeth just behind the canines on each side. Premolars have large, flat surfaces. The premolars are for crushing the food.
(iv) Molars are very large teeth which are present just behind the premolars, towards the back of our mouth. The molars have a larger surface area than premolars. The molars help in chewing and grinding the food.
