tooth
Incisor, for one
A tooth is one of the hard, bony structures in the mouth used for biting and chewing.
Teeth appear throughout nature and machinery wherever something grips or cuts: the teeth of a comb, a saw, a gear.
To have a sweet tooth is to crave sugary foods.
To fight tooth and nail is to struggle fiercely.
Something with teeth has real power to enforce: The new regulation has no teeth.
