There is much more to your
teeth than meets the eye. When you smile, you actually reveal only the very top
part of each tooth—what dentists call the crown.
As you
will learn in this video, your teeth are covered in hard, shiny enamel, which
is the hardest substance in the body. The middle of each tooth is filled with
blood vessels and nerve tissue called pulp, which keeps your teeth alive. Every
tooth is held in place in the jawbone by a periodontal ligament. For more
information on your dental
anatomy, be sure to watch this clip.
Having
a basic understanding of the internal structure of teeth can help you work with
your dentist to maintain the best dental health. If you live in the 5 Towns area, consider Dr. Alina Bergan D.D.S. for
your family’s dental eeds. For more information,
