'''Teeth''' (singular '''tooth''') were a common anatomical structure found at the [[Mouth/Legends|entry point]] to the digestive systems of numerous [[Species/Legends|species]] throughout [[The galaxy/Legends|the galaxy]].

Many [[Sentience/Legends|non-sentient]] animals, such as [[vornskr]]s, had razor-sharp teeth,<ref name="HttE">''[[Heir to the Empire]]''</ref> and some sentients, such as [[Grand Moff/Legends|Grand Moff]] [[Bertroff Hissa]], a [[Near-Human]], had similar teeth.<ref name="GODV">''[[The Glove of Darth Vader]]''</ref> The [[Gungan/Legends|Gungan]] species had large, blunt teeth which enabled them to crack open edible [[Shellfish/Legends|shellfish]].<ref name="SWE Gungans">{{SWE|groups|gungans|Gungans}}</ref> Other species, particularly [[pachydermoid]]s, featured large teeth known as tusks. The [[Eodon]]s in particular were renowned for their tusks.<ref>{{Ewoks|Hard Sell}}.</ref>

They were often cleaned using a [[toothbrush]]<ref>''[[Dark Forces: Soldier for the Empire]]''</ref> or an [[ultrasound cleaner]]<ref>''[[Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter]]''</ref> as well as occasionally with a [[Toothpick/Legends|toothpick]].<ref>{{WizardsCite|url=rpga/livingforce/article.asp?x=lf/swlf20010906a_dua&c=swlfc|text=Two Heads Aren't Better Than One|int=Two Heads Aren't Better Than One|archivedate=20020417061327}}</ref>

[[Governor/Legends|Governor]] [[Wilek Nereus]] of [[Bakura/Legends|Bakura]] was an avid collector of teeth, having collected them from numerous specimens, including [[Human/Legends|Humans]].<ref name="tbsb">''[[The Truce at Bakura Sourcebook]]''</ref> [[Mynock/Legends|Mynock]] teeth were an extremely rare commodity.<ref name="MF">[[Millennium Falcon (novel)|''Millennium Falcon'']]</ref>
