In the animal world, the forms and functions of teeth vary according to the nature of the diet. Carnivorous animals have sharp teeth capable of tearing flesh and easily gripping prey, while herbivores are distinguished by broad, flat teeth that help them grind tough plants and convert them into easily swallowed parts. Teeth are subject to wear and tear over time, a challenge that each species has evolved to address. 'The Independent' highlights that teeth play a pivotal role in the life of humans and animals, serving as the first step in the food's journey through the body and an indispensable tool for biting, chewing, and cutting food.
