The parts of a tooth
A tooth is basically made up of two parts: the crown and the root.
The crown is what you see when you smile or open your mouth. It's the
part that sits above your gumline.
The root is below the gumline. It makes up about 2/3rds of the tooth's
total length.
Four different tissues make up each tooth. The enamel is the
durable, white covering. Enamel protects the tooth from the wear and tear of
chewing.

Dentin supports the
enamel on your teeth. It's a yellow bone-like material that's softer than enamel
and carries some of the nerve fibres that tell you when something is going wrong
inside your tooth.
The Pulp is the centre of the tooth. It's a
soft tissue that contains blood and lymph vessels, and nerves. The pulp is how
the tooth receives nourishment and transmits signals to your
brain.
Cementum is what covers most of the root of the tooth. It
helps to attach the tooth to the bones in your jaw. A cushioning layer called
the Periodontal Ligament sits between the cementum and the jawbone. It helps to connect the two.
