Cat teeth, often known as ‘teefies,’ are these feline pearly whites (albeit not always that white) designed for biting, gnawing, chomping, and… getting their photographs taken! In fact, there is such a craze for ‘teefies’ on the internet that cat owners have their own website dedicated to them.
And, thanks to the r/Teefies subreddit, we have some of the sweetest kitty grins to make you smile. From baby corns and rice grains to vampire smiles, these cats are crushing it in the derpness department.

Molly said that the two canines, which resemble vampire fangs to us, are the most commonly seen teeth in cats. “These teeth are used to pierce the skin of animals and pull meat from the bones. The incisors are the little row of teeth between the canines. They don’t help much with hunting, but they are useful for grooming and taking stuff out of their coat,” she noted.

However, “the molars and premolars are for grinding, but cats don’t chew food like we do because they can’t move their mouth from side to side.” Molly went on to say that cats’ teeth are not flat like ours, but rather have a “crowned” structure that is prevalent in carnivores.

But, just because cats have different-looking teeth than humans does not imply they are immune to disease. “Cats don’t get cavities, but they do get gum disease, infections, and cancer,” Molly noted. Cats can also suffer from tooth resorption.”
As a result, feline oral health is extremely important. “Since cats hide pain, it’s tough to determine whether they’re having dental problems. Common symptoms of dental disease in cats include: abrupt food aversion, excessive drooling, redness where the tooth meets the gum, and poor breath.”
