Teeth

Teeth are hard, calcified structures located in the mouth that function primarily to cut, tear, and grind food during eating. They also play a role in speech and contribute to the shape and aesthetics of the face. Each tooth has a crown (the visible part), a root embedded in the jawbone, and is composed of enamel (the tough outer layer), dentin, and pulp (containing nerves and blood vessels). Proper oral hygiene and regular dental care are essential for maintaining healthy teeth, preventing decay, and avoiding dental diseases that can affect overall health.
