The main constituent of tooth is dentive (a hard tissue that forms the bluk of tooth. The dentine of the crown is covered with enamel and that of the root by cementum. The dentine is permeated by fine tubules which near the centre of the tooth contain cellular processess from the pulp. Exposed dentile is sensitive to cold, heat and touth). Covered by an external layer of enamel. At the core of each tooth is the pulp,in which there are nerves and blood vessels. Children`s deciduous teeth number 20 (twenty) and adult may have 32(thiry two) -8(eight) imcisors for cutting, 4(four) canines for tearing or transfixing,8(eight) premolars as utility teeth and 12(twelve) molars [including wisdom teeth (the third and last molars, two in each jaw appear between the age of 17 to 25 years) for griniding. Each tooth has crown, neck and root. Crown is the part of the tooth protruding beyond the gum into the mouth and is coated with enamel. Neck is the part that slightly constricted at the middle of tooth embraced by the gum. The root or fang is the posterior part that petrates into the jaw bone, covered with cement, and it is firmly fixed into alveolus(small cavily or pit or tooth-socket =a socket in part of the jaw-bone or mendible or maxilla) in the jaw.

A small amount of attraction occurs with age but accelerated wear may occur in bruxism(grinding of teeth while asleep / unconscious) and certain diets], erosion(an eating away tissue by physical or chemical processes including those associated inflammation) and abrasion (condition where the surface of the skin has been rubbed off by a rough surface and bleeds) but the cause is not always obvious. 2) Mouth = cheen, see`Cheen`.
