This document provides information about human teeth. It discusses the structure and composition of teeth, including that teeth are made of calcium, phosphorus, and other minerals. It describes the different types of teeth in humans - incisors, canines, premolars, and molars - and their functions. The document includes diagrams labeling the external and internal parts of a tooth. It also provides a tooth eruption chart showing when primary and permanent teeth emerge.

Crown, part above gum. Has thick outer layer called enamel.Neck, part between crown and root. Provides direct contact with gum.Root, part within the jaw. Forms the cover called cementum.
Enamel, Dentine, Pulp Cavity, Blood Vessels, Nerves, and Fibres.
Enamel is the surface of a tooth, part of which is exposed Made up of a hard substance that contains calcium phosphate. Dentine is the bone like structure that surrounds the pulp cavity.Made up of tiny channels containing living cells Makes the tooth sensitive. Pulp cavity is in the middle of a tooth . It has soft tissues containing blood vessels and nerves
After a meal, bacteria in the mouth feed on any sugar present and turn it into acids. Acids eats the teeth and cause cavities. Nerves are found in the pulp cavity They make the tooth more sensitive Blood vessels are found in the pulp cavity.Blood vessels supply a tooth with oxygen and nutrients
