Teeth play such an important role in our everyday life. We talk, eat, and drink using them. But how well do you really know this strong and vital part of your body?
To start, we need to understand the different types of teeth that we have. Most adults have 32 teeth (including wisdom teeth) that can be categorized into 4 different types.
To start, the root of the tooth begins in the gums and includes several parts. The root’s job is to hold the tooth in place. It makes up two-thirds of the tooth and includes the following parts.
The neck connects the root and the visible tooth. There are three parts of the neck.
The crown refers to the visible tooth.
And that’s all you need to know about the anatomy of your teeth! There is so much more to a tooth than what meets the visible eye, which is one of the many reasons why proper dental care is so important. Scheduling regular dental check-ups can ensure that every part of the tooth – even what you cannot see – is healthy. During our comprehensive exams, we will assess your smile and establish a custom plan for your dental health.
