Also known as third molars, these are the last teeth to erupt and are often extracted due to lack of space or misalignment.

Function to crush and grind food. Have two or more cusps.

Advanced gum disease which can lead to destruction of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone, ultimately resulting in tooth loss.

Gum tissue that covers the alveolar bone and surrounds the teeth to provide a seal against bacteria.

A mineral that helps prevent caries by promoting the remineralization of enamel and inhibiting bacterial growth.

Essential for chewing, swallowing, tasting, and speaking. It assists in cleaning the teeth.

Used for gripping and tearing food. They have a single pointed cusp.

Protects tooth from wear and decay. It is the hardest substance in the body.
