What kind of teeth would you expect to find on an omnivore and why?

You would expect to find a mixture of different kinds of teeth. Omnivores need "slicing" teeth (incisors), "tearing" teeth (canines or bicuspids), and "grinding" teeth (molars). Having these allows them to eat a wider variety of food. Animals that specialize in just one type of food may omit one or more of these kinds of teeth, because they're not useful ... most herbivores have either small or no canines, for example (some herbivores have tusks, but they're modified incisors rather than modified canines).
Teeth are directly related to diet . Teeth of carnivores are with conical and pointed cusps for tearing prey as in lion . Teeth of herbivores are with flat cusps to grinding vegetation and are called solenodonts and lophodonts as in deer , camel and elephant . teeth in omnivores are intermediate between these two extremes and are called bunodont . such teeth can be used for eating meet and grinding vegetation as in man
