Humans have three main types of teeth:
1. Incisors
Incisors help you bite off and chew pieces of food. These are the teeth found at the front of the mouth.
2. Canines
These teeth are used for tearing and ripping food. These are the teeth that can look like fangs. They are generally found between the incisors and molars.
3. Molars (and premolars)
These help you crush and grind food. They are found at the back of the mouth.
