Cuspid redirects here. For the heart valves see bicuspid valve and tricuspid valve.In mammalian oral anatomy the canine teeth also called cuspids dog teeth fangs or (in the case of those of the upper jaw) eye teeth are relatively long pointed teeth. However they can appear more flattened causing them to resemble incisors and leading them to be called incisiform. They developed and are used primarily for firmly holding food in order to tear it apart and occasionally as weapons.
