Incisors (Front Teeth) for cutting off bites of food.
Cuspids (sometimes called canines because of their long sharp points) for tearing food.
Bicuspids (with two points) to tear and crush food
Molars with large relatively flat surfaces to crush and grind food.
Now that you know each of your teeth serves a purpose, be sure to take care of them with check-ups at least twice a year. (:
