Cuspids are the third tooth from the center of the mouth to the back of the mouth. These are the front teeth that have one rounded or pointed edge used for biting. They’re also called canines. Canines, also called eyeteeth or cuspids, are teeth used for ripping and tearing at foods that might be tough, such as meat. You have a total of four of them, located next to your four top front teeth and your four bottom teeth. The cuspids are among the most recognizable teeth in the mouth due to their pointed shape and extended length. Also known as canine teeth (or “fangs” or “eye teeth” if referring to the upper teeth), the cuspids are located between the incisors (the narrow-edged teeth at the front of the mouth) and the premolar teeth.
