* Solid food is broken down in teeth to smaller, absorbable matter with the help of teeth.
* There are four types of teeth – incisors, canines, premolars and molars.
* Herbivores do not have canines, because of which there is a gap between the incisors, and the premolars.
* Carnivores have all the four types of teeth.
* The dentition in omnivores is well adjusted to manage with both plant and animal matter.
* Every tooth is fixed to the gum and consists of three parts – the root, crown and neck.
* Internally, a tooth is made up of three parts – the enamel, dentine and the pulp cavity.
* Taking proper care of your teeth will prevent formation of dental plaque and help your teeth last you a lifetime.
