PARTS OF A TOOTH
- Pulp is sensitive and holds the nerves and blood vessels deep down in the root of the tooth.
- Dentin is the hard material like your bones that surrounds the pulp.
- Cementum is a thin layer of material just like dentin, but it covers the root of your tooth.
- Enamel is the hard material that we see when we look at teeth. It covers the top of each tooth.

Now that we have finished discussing the teeth themselves, let's learn about taking care of the teeth.
