maxillary teeth
Maxillary teeth are the upper teeth located in the maxilla, which is the upper jawbone. These teeth include incisors, canines, premolars, and molars. They play a crucial role in biting, chewing, and speaking, contributing to overall oral health and function.
The maxillary teeth work in conjunction with the mandibular teeth, or lower teeth, to facilitate proper alignment and occlusion. Regular dental care, including brushing and flossing, is essential for maintaining the health of these teeth and preventing issues such as cavities and gum disease.
