You probably know where your wisdom teeth are, but do you know what the rest of your teeth are called? Each type of tooth has a special job that helps you eat, speak, and smile with ease. Your incisors are the sharp front teeth that cut food into smaller pieces. Next to them are your canines, which help tear food apart. Behind those are your premolars and molars, the strong, flat teeth that grind and chew so you can swallow comfortably. They work together to make your smile functional.
