Carnivorous mammals usually have strong pointed teeth to grasp the prey and dear the meat. These carnivores do not chew much, as digestion does not start until the food reaches the stomach.
Herbivorous mammals usually have cutting teeth in front, to bite off pieces of plant, and grinding teeth in back to grind the food before swallowing. These herbivores usually start the digestive process by mixing the food thoroughly with saliva while grinding into very small bits.
Humans have a combination, largely herbivorous type teeth but some pointed teeth too.

Teeth Of Herbivores

Teeth of a carnivore are sharp and sometimes razored used for ripping and tearing of flesh. Animals don't really chew their food they just need to tear it off into small enough sized pieces to swallow. Herbivore teeth are usually more box shaped and have ridges much like your teeth in the back of your mouth. These teeth are used to grind and pulverize vegitative materials. They process of chewing in a herbivore starts the breakdown of plant material into something the animal can digest.

carnivore's teeth are sharp.most of them are sharp even the teeth which is at back of the mouth compared to the herbivores.these enables the carnivores to bit the flesh out of the bone and chew the food properly.herbivores even have a quite a big gap after their four teeth's in front,on both the rows. this is to mix the foods with the sliver.carnivores don't have this.i don't know much. i hope i have cleared your doubt.

A carnivore's teeth are pointed and sharp, for tearing flesh and a herbivore's teeth are flat like our front teeth.

Herbivour teeth are made for cutting and grinding and are long and sharp in the front (rabbit teeth) and are wide and flat in the back (think LOTS of molars).
Carnivour teeth are sharp and made for slicing through muscle (think shark teeth). Their molars are usually also very pointy and are more to slice than to grind.

Basically, carnivores have canine teeth (sharp biting/tearing teeth) that herbivores don't have (except zebra stallions).

Omnivour teeth (which we have) are made for both slicing (the incisors) and grinding (the molars).
Hope that helps.
