Question: What are the Advantages/Disadvantages of having Canine Teeth?
Answers:
Canines are needed for ripping and tearing food and serve a great purpose in our dentition. I would say they are very advantageous. However some people need them extracted for Ortho work due to overcrowding or alignment and their premolar is then moved forward and put in its place , this is then used for tearing and ripping.

We're omnivores - we eat meat, grain, fruit and vegies.
Canine teeth are good for tearing stuff.
