Tooth necklace | sterling silver
A single tooth — the anatomy of enamel, dentine, and pulp in one small structure that lasts a lifetime.
The Anatomy of a Tooth
A tooth in cross-section reveals its layered structure: the enamel crown (96% hydroxyapatite — the hardest biological tissue, formed by ameloblasts during development and incapable of regeneration after eruption), the dentine body (70% hydroxyapatite, permeated by dentinal tubules that conduct thermal and mechanical stimuli to the pulp), and the pulp (containing blood vessels, lymphatics, and sensory nerve fibres). The root, covered in cementum, is anchored in the alveolar bone by the periodontal ligament — a hammock of collagen fibres that allows slight physiological movement and transmits biting forces. Dental caries — tooth decay — begins when acid from bacterial metabolism demineralises enamel, progressing through dentine to the pulp if untreated.
