Tooth:
The structures within the mouth that allow for biting and chewing. All the teeth have different shapes, depending on their purpose. The sharp canine and frontal teeth allow for biting, while flattened, thick molars in the back of the mouth provide grinding surfaces for masticating food. Essentially all the teeth have the same structure: A hard crown above the gum line which are attached to two or foru roots. The roots are covered with a very thin layer of bone, and keep the tooth embedded in the bones of the jaw. The exposed exterior of the tooth is covered with a tough enamel. Under the enamel is a thick layer of dentin, and in the center is the pulp. Blood vessels and nerves are found within the pulp.
