tooth anatomy
Molar's internal makeup
Tooth anatomy refers to the structural components of teeth.
The visible crown is covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the body.
Beneath lies dentin, a softer tissue forming the bulk of the tooth.
The pulp at the center contains nerves and blood vessels.
The root, anchored in the jawbone by cementum, holds the tooth in place.
