===The Dental Pad===

The dental pad is in the position of the upper teeth. It is soft cartilage and acts with the lower incisors when grazing.

Dense, richly vascular tissue beneath the '''palatine epithelium''' attaches tightly so it can not be moved during [[Mastication|mastication]].

===Incisors===

Incisors are only present on the lower jaw. They have wide, asymmetrical crowns.
