Teeth - Mouth and Tooth Sheet

The "Mouth and Tooth Sheet" is an educational resource that provides information about the different types of teeth found within the human mouth. Each type of tooth has a unique role in the process of eating and digestion. Starting with the incisors, these are the sharp, chisel-shaped teeth at the front of the mouth that are designed for cutting food. Next to the incisors are the canines, which are pointed and are used for tearing food. These are followed by the pre-molars, also known as bicuspids, which have a flat surface for crushing and grinding food into smaller pieces. Finally, the molars, which are the largest teeth at the back of the mouth, have a broad surface that further grinds down food before swallowing.

This sheet could serve as a visual aid in a lesson about oral health or human biology, helping individuals to identify and understand the function of each type of tooth. It emphasises the importance of all teeth working together to effectively break down food, which is an essential step in the digestive process. Knowing the names and functions of the different teeth can also assist in discussions about dental care and the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene to keep each tooth type healthy and functioning properly.
