The four types of teeth how they function

Your teeth and the structure of your mouth play important roles in your capability to eat, speak and stay healthy.

Most of us take our teeth for granted, until something goes wrong. Not only do our teeth help us chew and digest food, they also play an important role in speech and impact our health overall. By brushing up on your dental health knowledge, you all be taking the first step to giving your teeth attention they deserve.

Development of teeth

Humans have two sets of teeth:

Primary or baby teeth, permanent teeth (adult), which develop in stages. Although the timing is different, the development of each of these sets of similar.

Tooth development begins long before your first tooth becomes visible. Example, a baby first tooth appears at around six months, but development of those teeth actually begins during the early second trimester of pregnancy.

The crown of a tooth forms first, while the roots continue o develop even after the tooth has erupted.

Adult teeth start to grow in between ages six and 12. Most adults have 32 permanent teeth.

The parts of the tooth

A tooth is divided into two basic parts: the crown, which is the visible, white part of the tooth and the root, which you cannot see. The root extends below the gum line and helps anchor the tooth into the bone. Your teeth contain four kinds of issue, and each does a different job.

Enamel

This is the visible substance that covers the tooth crown. Harder than bone, enamel protects the vital tissues within the tooth

Dentin

Underneath the enamel you find dentin, which is calcified and looks similar to bone.

Cementum

This tissue covers the tooth root and helps anchor it into the bone. It is softer than enamel and dentin, the best way to protect this softer tissue from decay is by taking good care of your gums. But with inadequate dental care, the gums may become diseased and shrink, exposing the cementum to harmful plaque and bacteria.

Pulp

Pulp is found at the center and core of your teeth and contains the blood vessels nerves, and other soft issues that deliver nutrients and signals to your teeth.

Six reasons why your crown fell off

Have you ever bit into a sticky part of candy only to find out that the candy grabbed the crown that your dentist just set on your tooth?

If so you are not only, many people lose crowns from their teeth. A crown that fell off is a public emergency that we see at the dental. You may be curious why your crown fell off. To fulfill your curiosity, I have written this article to let you know about particular of the reasons that crowns fall of teeth.

Reasons

Tooth underneath the crown got rotten

Many people think that when they get a crown, their tooth is bulletproof. Crowned teeth can get cavities. The cavities usually occur right at the junction of the crown and the tooth alongside the gum line. In this case, your dentist will evaluate the tooth to see if it is able to hold a new top you will most likely need a new crown made.

Cement holding the crown on was not strong enough

This could be due to containment of the cement while it was being ready or any number of other reasons. If this is the case, your dentists can regularly re cement the crown back ont your tooth.

You ate too many chewy foods

Over time, sticky foods can increasingly work a crown loose. When the crown is pulled off by sticky food, it can usually be re cemented onto the tooth.

Crown broke

In some instances, due to lots of force, the crown can break and fall off the tooth. At times a crown can gradually form a crack that eventually loosens the crowns seal with the tooth and knocks it loose.

Abused your crown

Maybe you used your teeth as tools or you ended up putting unnatural stresses on the crown by crushing your teeth. In any case when you subject your crown to unusual services, you stress the bond that the crown to the tooth.

There was not enough tooth structure to hold onto the crown

Sometimes the teeth are so short that when dentist prepare them for a crown, there not much tooth left for the crown to grab on to when it is finally in place. This is more mutual in back teeth that have been worn down over years of use and are short.
