What you see in your mouth is above the gum and the two roots below the gum is hidden in your bone. |

Enamel is the white part of your tooth which you can see in your mouth. It is the hard part of the tooth. Dentin is the yellow part of your tooth just under the enamel. It is softer and spongier than the enamel. The enamel and the dentin together help you bite and chew your food. The pulp is red because it has the blood and the nerves which will keep the tooth alive. The gum is pink and raps around your teeth. The bone and the gum hold the tooth in your mouth. |
