The canine teeth are posterior to the incisors, are the longest teeth, have a crown with a single pointed cusp, and “grasp.”
The premolar teeth (bicuspids) have a crown with two pointed cusps, one on the buccal (cheek) side of the tooth and the other on the lingual (tongue) or palatal (palate) side, generally have one root (but the upper first premolar next to the canine may have two), and “grind.”
