A
tooth is basically made up of two parts: the Crown and the Root.
The crown is what you see when you smile or open your mouth. It’s
the part that sits above your gum line. The root is below the gum
line. It makes up about 2/3rds of the tooth’s total length.
Four different tissues make up each tooth. The enamel is the durable,
white covering. Enamel protects the tooth from the wear and tear
of chewing. Dentin supports the enamel on your teeth. It’s
a yellow bone-like material that’s softer than enamel and
carries some of the nerve fibers that tell you when something is
going wrong inside your tooth.
The Pulp is the center of the tooth. It’s a soft tissue that
contains blood and lymph vessels, and nerves. The pulp is how the
tooth receives nourishment and transmits signals to your brain.
Cementum is what covers most of the root of the tooth. It helps
to attach the tooth to the bones in your jaw. A cushioning layer
called the Periodontal Ligament sits between the cementum and the
jawbone. It helps to connect the two.
