Elephants use these tusks as weapons, to dig up food, and to tear bark off of trees. When polished and kept clean, they are rumored to be very attractive to the lady elephants. After the tusks grow in, the elephant grows a pair of teeth in the back of their mouth. These teeth are large, grinding molars that they use to chew up their food using a backward-forward grinding action. As these teeth begin to wear out, they move forward towards the front of the elephantâs mouth. As they move forward, new molars come in at the back of their mouth.
Really long in the tooth. Tusks are an elephant's incisor teeth and are the only incisors an elephant has. They are used for defense, digging for water and food, and lifting things. The tusks present at birth are milk teeth, which fall out after a year when they are about 2 inches (5 centimeters) long.
