Dogs have four different types of teeth, and each one has an important job! 🐶
🦷 Incisors – The little front teeth, used for nibbling, grooming and picking things up.
🐺 Canines – Those long, pointed teeth used for gripping and tearing. These teeth have long roots and play a very important role!
🥩 Premolars – Used for chewing and cutting food.
💪 Molars - The large teeth at the back of the mouth, designed for crushing and grinding.
One particularly important tooth is the upper fourth premolar, also known as the carnassial tooth. This is one of the largest teeth in your dog's mouth and does a lot of the hard work when chewing!
