Anatomy ofthe Teeth.

A nerve and artery, and vein
enter the root of every tooth and all
through an opening just large enough to
admit a human hair! .. =. L1
The dental pulp is the termination of
the nerve in the crown of the tooth. In
the molar teeth it is about the size of a
shot. Some auatomists call the whole oi
the nerve the dental pulp.
The ivory of the tooth (that par,
which lies under the enamel) is compos
ed OF IN immense number Of littIe pipes. OF
tubuIl, which makes that part Of the tooth
porous. This accounts for The rapid de-
cay Of the tooth when the enamel is gone.
The acids Of the saliva. heat and cold pen
citrate these numerous cells and cause
sudden destruction Of the teeth. Filling
the cavity solid with some metal is the
only cure. ,r
The nerve from one tooth connects
with the nerve to every tooth in eithe,
jaw. This is the reason why the pain is
so often felt on the opposite from where
the cause exists. Pain is often felt in the
upper jaw when The cause exists in the
lower.
The superior (upper) molar teeth have
three roots, they sometimes, { not frequent
ly. have four and even Eve roots, while
the inferior (lower) have but two. r
The bicuspids usually have but one root
or two united SO as to have the appear
snce Of but one. They sometimes, ho p.
ever. occur with two distinct roots.
The incissors and eye teeth, never have
more than one.
