Tooth
"Teeth" redirects here. For the film, see
Teeth (film). Teeth (singular, tooth) are structures found in the
jaws (or mouths) of many
vertebrates that are used to tear, scrape, and chew
food. Some animals, particularly
carnivores, also use teeth for hunting or defense. The roots of teeth are covered by
gums. Teeth are among the most distinctive (and long-lasting) features of
mammal species.
Paleontologists use teeth to identify
fossil species and determine their relationships. The shape of an animal's teeth is related to its diet. For example, plant matter is hard to digest, so
herbivores have many molars for
chewing.
Carnivores, on the other hand, need
canines to kill and tear meat.
