    Teeth have four types that serve different functions: incisors cut food, canines tear food, premolars crush and grind food, and molars further chew and grind food into a form ready to swallow. Together the four types of teeth - incisors, canines, premolars, and molars - work to break down food through cutting, tearing, crushing, and grinding motions into a form that can be easily digested.
