Tooth Anatomy

People use their teeth to bite and chew food which is the first step in the digestion of food.

People have two sets of teeth in their lives; the primary teeth are also called the baby, or milk teeth.

Cementum - a layer of tough, yellowish, bone-like tissue that covers the root of a tooth. It helps hold the tooth in the socket.

Crown - the visible part of a tooth.

More About Tooth Anatomy

Dentin - the intermediate tooth layer, the dentin, is harder than bone.

Enamel - the hard shiny, white outer surface of the tooth, is hydroxyapatite, which is a crystalline calcium phosphate

Nerves and Pulp - nerves transmit signals (conveying messages like hot, cold, or pain) between the brain and the soft center of the tooth. The pulp contains blood vessels and nerves; it nourishes the dentin.

Periodontal membrane/ligament - the fleshy tissue between tooth and the tooth socket; it holds the tooth in place.

Root - the anchor of a tooth that extends into the jawbone. The number of roots ranges from one to four.

Dental Pellicle - This is the skin of the tooth. It can reduce dental erosion. The pellicle is damaged or removed by tooth cleaning, but it is supposed to reform quickly.

I was ready to have a tooth pulled and the dentist told me that I needed a root canal, but I had no money for either procedure. I was in pain and my cheek had already begun to swell. But after just over a month of following Ramiel's dietary protocols it is hard for me to feel which tooth was bothering me. Thanks a million to Ramiel Nagel for writing this book.
