WALT identify the different parts of a tooth
 
Molars
 
Incisors
 
 
Canines
 
Premolars
 
We can divide our tooth into 2 separate sections.
 
The crown
This is the part
which we can see
sticking out above
the gum.
 
The root
This is the
part which is
hidden inside
our gums.

Watch the following video describing the structure of a
tooth in more detail
 
Enamel
This is the hardest part of
our body. Even harder
than bone!
 
It covers the crown and it
is actually transparent in
colour.
 
Dentine
This forms the bulk of the
tooth. It is not as strong
as enamel but it is what
gives your tooth its
colour.
 
Pulp
This is the living part of
the tooth. It is made of
soft tissue and is very
sensitive.
 
Blood Vessels
These carry blood to and
from the tooth containing
oxygen and nutrients.
They are therefore very
important in keeping your
tooth healthy.
 
Gum
The gums cover the bone
around the teeth. Healthy
gums are firm and pink.
Unhealthy gums can look
red and may bleed when
you brush.
 
WALT identify the different
parts of a tooth
 
Complete and colour in a diagram of a cross
section of a tooth similar to the one on the previous
slide. Include labels for the individual parts.
 
Challenge
Can you use different coloured plasticine or salt dough to make
an accurate model of a tooth with all the different layers? It
doesn’t have to be actual size. You can make it bigger so its
easier to build.
