The teeth are each and every one of the bones embedded in the jaw and used to biteand chew food, so they are part of the digestive tract.

The teeth are arranged in two curves, one in the jaw and another in the jaw, each one isa dental arch. The upper jaw is slightly higher than the lower, therefore, usually the upper teeth are slightly ahead of the lower. Each tooth is made of a special type of calcified tissue called dentin, which is not usually exposed to the environment because it iscovered with a very hard layer of calcified tissue called enamel, the root is covered witha calcified tissue also called cement.

It’s important to take care of your mouth and teeth starting in childhood. If you don’t, you could have problems with your teeth and gums – like cavities or even tooth loss.
