Tooth Anatomy, Decay & Care

Tooth, plural teeth, is any of the hard, resistant structures occurring on the jaws and in or around the mouth and pharynx areas of vertebrates. Teeth are used for catching and masticating food, for defence, and for other specialized purposes.

Each tooth has 4 main parts, including:

  • Enamel. The outer layer of the tooth and the hardest material in the body.
  • Dentin. The inner layer and the main part of the tooth and the largest dental tissue.
  • Pulp. Soft tissue on the inside of the tooth that contains the nerve, blood supply, and the ability to produce dentin.
  • Root. The part of the tooth that secures it into the jaw.

Tooth decay is damage that occurs to your teeth, which can potentially result in cavities, dental abscesses, or even tooth loss. It’s caused by the activity of certain species of bacteria that can live in dental plaque.

Tooth decay can be prevented by practising good oral hygiene which can be done by the following the below steps:

See your dentist regularly and brush your teeth and limit sweets etc.

  • Initial demineralisation
  • Enamel Decay
  • Dentin Decay
  • Pulp Damage
  • Abscess
