here are four canine teeth in the mouth two on either side of the four upper and bottom front teeth. These long, sharp teeth are important for biting and tearing food, and they have thick roots firmly connected to the jaw. If a canine tooth becomes impacted or stuck beneath the gums, surgical intervention is necessary to expose the tooth and guide it into its place in the dental arch.
