What is "canine"?

Canines, also called canine teeth, are sharp, pointed teeth located on each side of the incisors. Also known as "eye teeth" or "cuspid teeth," canines are crucial for biting and tearing food. They have long roots and a more pronounced shape compared to other teeth, giving them a prominent appearance. Canines are part of both the primary (baby) and permanent dentitions, and they play a significant role in maintaining the proper alignment and occlusion of the jaw. Additionally, canines contribute to the aesthetic appeal of a person's smile.
