Why Do Teeth Have Different Shapes?

Why do teeth have different shapes?

The reason we have different shaped teeth is because different teeth play different roles in food chewing process.  Each tooth does a different job.

There are 4 different types of teeth.


  • Incisors are for cutting 
  • Canines are for tearing 
  • Premolars & Molars help grind the food so that food is small enough to swallow
