Also why are they flat????
In: Biology
Humans have three kinds of teeth, and they all serve a purpose. Front teeth are snippers. They’re larger and flat, with a slightly tapered end. They cut through softer items like plants and fruit. The larger surface also helps keep food from falling right back out.
The other two kinds – Canines are the rippers, usually kind of pointed. They grasp and tear tougher food, like animal flesh. Molars are grinders, mashing the snipped and torn food into a paste we can swallow.
