Facts About Rat and Mouse Teeth

Rats and mice are rodents that have many similarities, including the same number and type of teeth. In fact, their classification together in the superfamily Muroidea is based on the shape of their lower jaw. Animals that are related to rats and mice but have slightly different teeth are classified outside of the Muroidea superfamily.

The Dental Anatomy of Rat and Mouse

Rats and mouse have enlarged chewing muscles that allow their jaw to work in a vertical, forward and backward motion. Only the front surface of the incisors has enamel, the back is softer dentine. This arrangement allows the continuously growing incisors to remain sharp as they are worn off.

When a rat or mouse gnaws, its lower jaw shifts forward, bringing the incisors into contact with each other and the molars out of contact with each other. The upper incisors hold the object, and the lower incisors cut against it. Hence, only the incisors are involved in gnawing -- molars do not touch each other when a rat gnaws. Most rat and mouse eat a plant-based diet while some enjoy delicacies such as snails, turtles, clams, crayfish, ants and scorpions.



Below are the facts about rat and mouse teeth:

Teeth Color

Rats have dark yellow or orange-yellow incisors. Unlike humans, the yellow color is not an indication of poor dental health; it's caused by a pigment that contains iron and is usually present in greater amounts on the top teeth than the bottom. Mice also have this natural yellow pigment, but it's not as noticeable because their incisors are not as visible as those of a rat.

Teeth Growth

Rat and mouse, just like other rodents, have a set of incisor teeth that never stop growing. Their teeth grow at a rate of 0.3mm a day and about 5 inches per year. Because of this, mice have to constantly gnaw on items which range anywhere from cardboard boxes to wires and furniture in order to grind their teeth down to a reasonable length. Both animals can have serious problems if the incisors get too long. Crooked or misaligned teeth are often the cause of overgrown incisors, but a lack of proper chewing materials can also be to blame.

Monophyodont

Both mice and rats are monophyodont and the teeth that come in when they are babies are the same teeth they will have as adults.

Bruxing

Rats will sometimes grind their teeth from stress or pain, but this behavior typically is to express contentment and relaxation. The behavior is known as bruxing.

Size of Bite

Besides having larger bodies than mice, rats have much larger teeth. If you find objects that have been chewed, you can tell whether it was a rat or a mouse by the size of the tooth marks. Rats leave behind deep marks, usually about 1/8-inch long. Teeth marks made by mice look like tiny scratches on the surface. Their smaller teeth aren't capable of making the same gouges as heavy-duty rat teeth.
