Describe the Pattern of Teeth in Mouth

incisors, canines, pre-molars, molars, which are "cheek teeth" anatomy of tooth, gums, circulatory system and nervous system in mouth/teeth tooth/mouth conditions and problems — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.3.68.15 (talk) 01:07, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Where's birds?

Birds can have teeth too...--72.197.35.238 (talk) 19:04, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Er no...they don't. Maybe you're thinking about the egg tooth? - M0rphzone (talk) 02:13, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar thing

Tooth (plural teeth) are small, calcified, whitish structures found in the jaws Clearly this should be changed to "A tooth is a small, calcified, whitish structure. . . " because, it's you know, singular.

More grammar

“Early fish such as the thelodonts had teeth for scales, suggesting that the origin of teeth was scales which were retained in the mouth.” - scales for teeth perhaps? Anihl (talk) 01:47, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's closer to accurate as is - early scales were heavily ossified, with dentine at the main support and a layer of almost-but-not-quite enamel. A subset of these were modified to become teeth. It's pretty poorly phrases as it is. I'll give it a quick edit, see if I cant improve it. HCA (talk) 16:28, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Canines: In dogs, the teeth are less likely than humans to form dental cavities because of the very high pH of dog saliva, which prevents enamel from demineralizing

This seems inaccurate, despite it supposedly being sourced from a 1992 book. The pH level of sugar is neutral, but isn't it more accurate to state that dental cavities are a result of sugars instead of low, neutral or high pH level? 71.112.173.40 (talk) 14:15, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
