Teeth (singular, tooth) are structures found in the jaws of many vertebrates. The primary function of teeth is to tear, scrape, and chew food, and in some animals, particularly carnivores, for fighting and/or defence. The roots of the teeth are covered by gums. Adult teeth naturally darken with age as the pulp within the tooth shrinks and dentin is deposited in its place. Teeth are among the most distinctive features of mammal species and fossils. Paleontologists use them to identify fossil species and their relationships. The shape of the teeth is related to the animal's diet. For example, plant matter is hard to digest, so herbivores have many molars for chewing. Carnivores need canines to kill and tear meat. Humans are diphyodont, meaning that they develop two sets of teeth throughout life. The first set (the "baby," "milk," "primary" or "deciduous" set) normally starts to appear at about six months of age, although some babies are born with one or more visible teeth, known as neonatal teeth. Normal eruption of teeth starting at about six months is known as teething and can be quite painful for an infant. Some animals develop only one set of teeth (monophyodont) or develop many (polyphyodont). Sharks, for example, grow a new set of teeth every two weeks to replace worn teeth. Rodent incisors grow and wear away continually through the animal's gnawing, maintaining approximately constant length. Some rodent species such as the sibling vole[1] and the guinea pig[2] have also continuously growing molars. 1 Anatomy 2 Parts 2.1 Enamel 2.2 Dentin 2.3 Cementum 3 Development 4 Eruption 5 Periodontium Further Data On Term for tooth Internet users who seek tooth often also seach for: philips sonicare toothbrush, automatic toothbrush, usb bluetooth dongle, sonicare, electric, toothbrush, bluetooth, earphone, cybersonic, toothbrush, best, toothbrush, oral, b, toothbrush, tooth, squigle, toothpaste, palm, bluetooth, cybersonic, 2, toothbrush, sonic, tooth, brush, philips, sonicare, toothbrush, automatic, toothbrush, usb, bluetooth, dongle Regularly Occuring Typos with tooth include: ototh tooth totoh tooht ooth toth toth tooh toot rooth footh gooth yooth tioth tkoth tloth tpoth taoth teoth tuoth toith tokth tolth topth toath toeth touth toorh toofh toogh tooyh tooty tootg tootj tootb tootn Commonly appearing connections are : towanda pennsylvania, tourmaline earrings, tourbillon watches, tourbillon watch, toshiba libretto 50ct, torque test, torquay pottery, toro snowblowers, toro recycler mower, top ten web sites, top dishwashers, tooled leather, tool belts, tonka trucks, tongue barbell, tom henry, tokyo hotels, toile duvet, together rx, toccoa georgia, tobaccoville, toastmaster appliances Similar searches have yielded these phrases tooth: sonicare electric toothbrush, bluetooth earphone, cybersonic toothbrush, best toothbrush, oral b toothbrush, tooth, squigle toothpaste, palm bluetooth, cybersonic 2 toothbrush, sonic tooth brush Certain copy here tooth made available through Wikipedia and the GNU Free Documentation License.
