Tooth

A Nexu with a mouth of sharp teeth.

"I will sharpen my teeth upon this boy's bones!"

―Durge

Teeth (singular tooth) were a common anatomical structure found at the entry point to the digestive systems of numerous species throughout the galaxy.

Many non-sentient animals, such as vornskrs, had razor-sharp teeth, and some sentients, such as Grand Moff Bertroff Hissa, a Near-Human, had similar teeth. The Gungan species had large, blunt teeth which enabled them to crack open edible shellfish. Other species, particularly pachydermoids, featured large teeth known as tusks. The Eodons in particular were renowned for their tusks.

They were often cleaned using a toothbrush or an ultrasound cleaner as well as occasionally with a toothpick.

Governor Wilek Nereus of Bakura was an avid collector of teeth, having collected them from numerous specimens, including Humans. Mynock teeth were an extremely rare commodity.
