Histology, Pathology, and Embrology: Structures of the Tooth and Their Functions


Alrighty! So here is what our teeth look inside. When we look at our own teeth, the white part of our teeth is the enamel. The dentin is what give our teeth the yellowy/grayish white color, which lies beneath the enamel. The pup holds blood vessels and nerves; when you have a sensitive tooth it is because the nerve is irritated. The cementum protects the root of our teeth, and lies below the gum line. The periodontal membrane/ligament is what hold the tooth to the bone. Short and sweet ;)
