molar definition and meaning

What is a "molar"?

A molar is a large, flat tooth located at the back of the mouth in the human body. It is designed for grinding and chewing food. Typically, adults have twelve molars, six in the upper jaw and six in the lower jaw, with three on each side. Molars have a broad surface with multiple cusps, which aid in the efficient breakdown of food particles. They play a crucial role in the final stages of chewing and are responsible for crushing and grinding food before it is swallowed. Molars also contribute to maintaining proper alignment of the jaw and provide support for the facial structure.
