Understanding Tooth Roots

The root of a tooth is the portion of the tooth that resides beneath the crown and anchors it securely within the jawbone. Roots play a critical role in the stability, function, and overall health of your teeth.

Key details about tooth roots include:

Composition: Roots are primarily made of dentin, a strong tissue that is slightly softer than enamel.
Root Canal: Inside the root is the root canal, containing the dental pulp?blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue that nourish the tooth during development.
Covering: The outer layer of the root is covered by cementum, a calcified tissue that anchors the tooth to the jawbone and provides attachment for the periodontal ligament.

Healthy roots are essential for maintaining tooth stability. Problems affecting the roots, such as infection, trauma, or decay, can lead to tooth mobility or even tooth loss if not addressed promptly.
