chewable-sized piece. Canines can help to grip and position
food (like an apple) before you bite down. They also assist in
tearing food. Premolars help to tear, split and break up food
before sending in down to the molars for grinding. Molars are
the workhorses in your mouth. They mash, grind, crush and
chew food with saliva and digestive enzymes until it is ready to
swallow. So in this way four types of teeth helps in digestion.
