Aka cuspids, fangs, etc... you know, the kind of teeth that carnivores typically have. Incisors and molars are typically larger and more akin to cutting and chewing respectively (i.e., grass, leaves) in herbivores, whereas the canine is for grasping/tearing (i.e., meat). Unless you were trying to go the other way with the name thing...
It's been a while since the last time I had to take down a deer, with my teeth
