An incisor is one of the flat-edged teeth at the very front of your mouth. A human adult has eight of them: four on top and four on the bottom, sitting in the middle of the smile. Their job is to bite off a piece of food — like a pair of small scissors — before the canines and the big back molars take over. Children lose their first incisors quite young; those are the classic “tooth under the pillow” teeth. Animals have incisors too: a rabbit’s front teeth are famous incisors, and they keep growing, which is why rabbits must chew. The word is the ordinary one in biology and at the dentist; at home most people just say “front teeth.”
