Teeth Functions and the structure
Uncategorized
Your teeth are used for:
Biting and tearing. The central incisors and lateral incisors are primarily used for biting and cutting and canine teeth are primarily used for tearing food.
Grinding and crushing. The premolars, molars, and wisdom teeth are primarily used for chewing and grinding food.
And now we will move to How Teeth Are Structured
Each tooth consists of three main parts – the crown, the neck and root.
The crown is the visible part of the tooth. A protective layer called enamel covers the crown.
The neck is the area of the tooth between the crown and the root.
The root is the portion of the tooth that extends through the gum and into the bone of the jaw.
