eye tooth
Fang in humans
An eye tooth is a canine tooth in the upper jaw, so named because it sits below the eye.
The phrase give one's eye teeth means to sacrifice something precious for a desired outcome: I'd give my eye teeth for tickets to that show.
The canines are among the most deeply rooted teeth, making their loss significant.
