Your teeth look different from one another because they are designed to
do different things.
The Incisors are the teeth in the very front. They're the sharpest teeth,
built to cut food and shaped to shovel the food inward.
The Canine teeth
are in the corners of your mouth. Because they're meant for grasping
and tearing food, they have very long roots.
Premolars are located just behind your Canine teeth. Premolars
have a more flat chewing surface because they're meant for
crushing food.
The Molars are the last teeth towards the back of your mouth.
Molars are much bigger than the Premolars and have bigger, flatter
chewing surfaces because their job is to chew and grind the food into
smaller pieces.
