Show transcript
Teeth are part of the human digestive system. Different types of teeth have different functions, but work together to break down food to travel through the body. Incisors are sharp and flat, and are used to cut and bite food. Canines are sharp and more pointed, and are used to rip and tear food. Molars are wide and bumpy, and are used to chew and grind food.
