Your tooth may look and feel solid but it is a living thing with many layers. The enamel is the hardest layer of the tooth which protects a soft inner tissue, which is known as the dentin. The pulp, which is located in the center of the tooth, holds the nerve and blood vessels. The jawbone and other ligaments and tissues hold your teeth in place. When both your teeth and gums are healthy, they are securely connected to the jawbone which allows you to eat and speak on a normal basis.
