eye teeth
Pointed jaw teeth
Eye teeth are the pointed canine teeth in the upper jaw, positioned roughly beneath the eyes.
The phrase appears most often in the expression give one's eye teeth, meaning to sacrifice something valuable: I'd give my eye teeth for tickets to that show.
The idiom reflects how losing these prominent teeth would be a serious cost.
