Tooth is the term used to determine the roughness of the ground (paper,artist's board, etc.) on which you are intending to draw.
A ground with little tooth is generally smooth and polished with a "hard" surface. This sort of ground gathers less of your medium.
A ground with a lot of tooth is generally rougher and coarser with a "softer" surface. This sort of ground will gather more of you medium with much less pressure than a smoother surface.
