Teeth
  • Teeth help you cut , tear and crush your food
    before you swallow it.
  • Humans are omnivores (They eat both plants and
    animals) their teeth are designed to eat most
    types of food.
  • Molars (Back Teeth) For crushing and grinding
    food
  • Canines (Fangs) In meat-eating animals like
    cats and dogs they are long and sharp and are
    used for stabbing and gripping food.
  • Incisors (Front teeth) Are used for snipping and
    cutting food.

Milk Teeth
  • Milk teeth (about 20 teeth) are used from six
    months old, and start falling out when about 5 or
    6 years of age.
  • Permanent teeth (about 32 teeth) used from five
    years of age until....... Well it depends how
    well you look after them!

Animal Teeth
  • Carnivores (meat eaters) have teeth suited for
    killing other animals and tearing flesh .Canines
    are long and pointed for holding and gripping
    flesh. .Molars can crack and crush bones.
  • Herbivores (plant eaters) have teeth suited to
    eating plants. Incisors cut off grass. Molars
    grind the grass as the jaws move side to side.

Five ways to look after your teeth
  • Brushing your teeth at least twice a day helps to
    remove plaque.
  • Flossing your teeth also helps remove plaque and
    bits of food with bacteria feeding on it.
  • Use toothpaste with fluoride in it some
    scienctists think this helps to keep your teeth
    strong. some tap water also contains fluoride.
  • Visiting the dentist helps to prevent tooth
    decay.
  • Eating the correct foods (not so many sweeties,
    plenty of carrots and apples, drink milk.)
