Picture match - Teeth

In an interactive activity designed to educate about the different types of teeth, participants are presented with a picture matching task. Four different numbers correspond to illustrations of teeth, and the challenge is to correctly identify and link each number to the name of the type of tooth it represents. The four categories of teeth to be matched are molars, incisors, premolars, and canines, each serving a unique function in the process of eating and digestion. Participants must locate and associate the numbers with the correct dental terminology, enhancing their understanding of oral anatomy.

The activity also prompts participants to consider the journey of food from consumption to digestion, highlighting the role that different types of teeth play in this process. Incisors, for example, are typically used for cutting or biting into food, while canines are pointed and ideal for tearing. Premolars and molars, with their broader surfaces, are essential for grinding and crushing food into smaller, more digestible pieces. This educational task not only aids in the recognition of teeth but also provides insight into their functional importance in everyday life.
