Okay, I'll bite ;)
In Géarthnuns, the generic word for "tooth" is "nöiks".
incisor - höilkanöiks (door tooth)
canine - ngurebnöiks (dog tooth)
premolar - böknézhenöiks (small chew tooth)
molar - gaknézhenöiks (big chew tooth)
wisdom tooth - ngagíörzhenöiks (wisdom tooth)
baby tooth - nguraunöiks (milk tooth)
