Question 2 • Physicians, Pharmacists, Dentists, Veterinarians and Other Doctors

Which accurately describes the dental type of a dog, which gets baby teeth and then later gets adult teeth?

Answer
A
diphyodont
B
arterial
C
orthodontic
D
maxillofacial

Explanation

A dog first develops a set of baby teeth and later replaces them with adult teeth. An animal with two successive sets of teeth is called diphyodont, so the correct choice is diphyodont. “Arterial” relates to arteries, while “orthodontic” and “maxillofacial” refer to dental treatment and the face and jaws, respectively.
