Q

Basic tooth anatomy

A

The tooth has two anatomical parts, the crown and the root. The crown is the top part that is exposed and visible above the gum (gingiva). It is covered with enamel, which protects the underlying dentine. The root of a tooth descends below the gum line anchoring the tooth in the mouth.
