Cementum - Layer of tooth surrounding the root.

Crown – The part of the tooth you can see.

Dentin – The layer beneath the enamel.

Enamel – The outer surface of the tooth.

Gums – The soft tissue that surrounds the tooth.

Nerves - Nerves transmit signals (conveying messages like hot, cold, or pain) to and from the brain. Your dental nerves are inside the pulp of the tooth.
