Well Its easy

Just remember, incisors, Canines, Pre molars, Molars

Incisors 4 on each jaw, for cutting food.
Canines two on each jaw, for tearing food.
Pre molars, 4 on each jaw, for cutting and grinding food, flattened with 2 or more cusps.
Molars, 6 on each jaw, for cutting and grinding food, flattened with 4 or more cusps.

Remember a label of 2 things in a tooth, Root for example and enamel.

W revise tooth decay etc.. and how it can be avoided. If you need any help, post ;)

You should know these:
=> Types of teeth (incisors, canines, pre-molars, molar ) <= Including their identification from diagrams;
=> Their labellings.. e.g which part is the enamel; the root and crown etc;
=> Some knowledge about dental decay (Causes, prevention etc);
=> Arguments for and against the addition of flourides to water!
This is almost it!
P.S this is for IGCSE only!
