Teeth help you eat different foods by breaking them down into smaller pieces so you can swallow and digest them more easily.
Each type of tooth has a special job:
Incisors (Front Teeth):
These are the sharp, flat teeth in the front of your mouth.
They help you bite and cut food into smaller pieces, like when you take a bite of an apple.
Example:
You take a big bite of a carrot with your front teeth.
Canines (Pointy Teeth):
These teeth tear food apart, like meat or tough bread.
Example:
You use your canines to tear a piece of chicken or bite into a chewy pizza crust.
Premolars and Molars (Back Teeth):
These teeth crush and grind food into smaller pieces so you can swallow it easily.
Example:
You chew rice, vegetables, or crackers with your molars until the food is soft.
All your teeth work together to help you eat your favorite foods, from crunchy snacks to chewy treats! 😊
