Figure 1. Crown of the tooth. The teeth are made up of two major parts: the crown and the root. The crown of the tooth is what is visible in the mouth (Figure 1). The root of the tooth is the portion which normally not visible in the mouth and is anchored within the bone (Figure 2).
The nerves and blood vessels of the tooth are called the pulp. The pulp occupies the root canals, and the pulp chamber in the crown of the tooth. When it is exposed to infection by decay or injury it will die and cause severe pain. An abscess will develop on the root.
