Types of Teeth

牙齿的种类

Identify the different types of human teeth (incisors, canines, molars) and describe their functions in eating

✓ Name three types of teeth: incisors, canines, molars
✓ Describe the function of each: incisors cut, canines tear, molars grind
✓ Relate tooth type to diet (e.g. herbivores have flat molars, carnivores have sharp canines)

Can your child point to different teeth in their mouth and explain that front teeth cut food while back teeth grind it?
