Tooth Cross-Section

The human tooth is a complex structure, consisting of four distinct layers that work together in harmony within the mandible. At its outermost layer, the enamel provides a hard, protective barrier against decay and damage. Beneath this lies the dentin, a softer yet still remarkably resilient material that surrounds the tooth's innermost structures. The pulp is the delicate network of nerves and blood vessels that give teeth their sensitivity to pain and temperature changes. It is nestled safely within the dentin, where it can function without interference. Finally, the neurovascular bundle supplies this intricate system with oxygenated blood and essential nutrients, ensuring that each tooth remains strong and healthy throughout one's lifetime.
