noun

Canine teeth are the sharp, pointy teeth that you have in your mouth. They're called "canine" teeth because they look like the teeth that dogs have in their mouths.

You can find your canine teeth on the upper and lower parts of your mouth, and they're located right next to your front teeth. Usually, you have four canine teeth in total: two on the top and two on the bottom.

Example

1. My dentist told me that I need to get a filling for my chipped canine tooth.
2. Canine teeth are really helpful for tearing meat off of bones.
3. I accidentally bit my lip while chewing because my canine tooth is so sharp.
