Cutting, biting food
chewing food
they start the digestive process which gives us the energy we need to live.

Do all animals have the same type of teeth?
Animals' teeth are different depending upon what foods they eat.

Meat-eaters (carnivores) have sharp teeth

Plant-eaters (herbivores) have flat teeth

Animals that eat both plants and meat, (omnivores) have sharp teeth in front and flat teeth at the back http://www.3dmouth.org/6/6_2_1.cfm
