Permanent bicuspid teeth are situated in the space created between the cuspids (canine teeth) and the molars (molars). Because they erupt in the mouth before to the molars, bicuspid teeth are often referred to as “premolar teeth.” Two points, or cusps, protrude from the crown of a bicuspid tooth. The use of the prefix “bi” denotes the presence of two points. The teeth known as bicuspids are distinguished by having two root ends.

Why Do We Have Bicuspid Teeth?
People who have bicuspid teeth are able to eat almost any sort of food since they are able to bite and chew on a bigger surface area. The ability of the canines and molars to effectively digest food is made possible, in large part, by the contribution of the bicuspids.
