Although there are many joints in the skull, most are fused or immovable. The only bone that is free moving is the mandible, the lower jaw.
The joints that connect the tooth to the socket are gomphosis joints, which allow little to no movement.

What are tooth sockets lined with?
The alveolar process (alveolar bone) is the thickened ridge of bone that contains the tooth sockets (dental alveoli) on bones that hold teeth. In humans, the tooth-bearing bones are the maxillae and the mandible.[3]
Can you burn a tooth?
yes, you can burn a tooth
Is it true Dentin anchors the tooth in place?
No. Dentin is the slightly softer material that is found under the enamel of a tooth. Your tooth is held into place by a ligament (the periodontal ligament) that connects the tooth root to bone.
How can you tell if breaking a tooth is physical?
To BREAK a tooth one must apply a physical force. Therefore breaking a tooth is a physical process.
The lower part of the tooth that fits into a socket in the jaw is called the?
The part of the tooth that fits into the socket of the jaw(mandible) or maxilla(for upper teeth) is the "root" of the tooth.

Where in the human mandible do you find immature bone?
Tooth Sockets (Lamina Dura)
What are the extensions of the bone of the body of the mandible and maxilla that contains the tooth sockets of the teeth?
periodontium
Can you get drysocket in a baby tooth after extraction?
Not usually because there is usually a permanent tooth right below it under the surface. A lot of times you can even see the new tooth. Dry sockets usually happen when there is a deep hole after an extraction of a permanent tooth.
After a tooth extraction What does it mean if the socket turns white?
If the socket turns white after a tooth extraction, it means you have a dry socket. The white you are seeing is bone. After you have a tooth pulled, there is a socket or bone and sensitive nerves. Dry sockets occur when a blood clot either fails to form in the socket or it disintegrated. Dry sockets can lead to terrible pain and inflammation You should call your dentist right away if you have one!
Can I use Motorola blue-tooth charager to charge Motorola phone?
If the sockets the right size for the phone yes. But if it doesn't go in don't force.
What is the function of cementum?
cementum Covers the root of the tooth. The primary function for the cementum is to anchor the tooth to the bony socket with the attachments of the priodontal ligaments.
Where is gomphosis joint located?
a gomphosis is an example of a fibrous joint
What are the 3 types of fibrous joint?
i) Fibrous (synarthrodial): Fibrous joints are fixed or immovable joints. There are three types of fibrous joints: gomphosis, suture, and syndesmoses. A gomphosis joint is when one bone fits into another bone. The edges are bound together by connective tissue. An example of a gomphosis joint is a tooth in the jawbone. A suture joint. An example of a suture is the fibrous joints between the bones of the skull of an infant. An syndesmoses joint connects two bones through connective tissue. An example is the tibio-fibular syndesmoses, the connective tissue that binds the ends of the fibula and tibia. 　 ii) Cartilaginous: (synchondrosis and symphysis): These are partly moveable joints where the bones are attached by either fibro cartilage or hyaline cartilage. There are two types of Cartilaginous joints: Synchondrosis, which are temporary joints and symphysis which are permanent joints. A synchondroses is a joint where the surfaces are close together, yet are bound by hyaline cartilage. An example of a synchondroses is at the ends of long bones. An example of a symphysis joint is the attachment of one vertebra to another by an intervertebral disk, a fibrocartilage ring, in the vertebral column. This maintains stability. 　 　 iii) Synovial: (diarthroses) Synovial joints are freely movable joints. They all have a synovial capsule (collagenous structure) surrounding the entire joint, a synovial membrane (the inner layer of the capsule) which secretes synovial fluid (a lubricating liquid) and cartilage known as hyaline cartilage which pads the ends of the bones. There are 6 types of synovial joints. They are defined by the shape of the joint and the movement they provide. Synovial-type joints can be further classified into three categories: uniaxial, biaxial, and triaxial. Examples of these joints range from the joint in the elbow to the thumb.
Name three types of articulations in the body?
The three functional articulations are synarthrosis which is an immovable join and example would be a suture, amphiarthrosis a slightly immovable joint an example is the symphysis, and last the diarthrosis a freely movable joint such as the elbow or knee joint.
What are free moving joints classified as?
Joints are classified into 3 types 1) Fibrous, includes joints between skull bones 2) Cartilaginous, includes A) Primary, means there is a sheet of cartilage between bones ( Epiphysis and diaphysis, so that bone can grow in length and get ossified, when growth stops. B) Secondary cartilaginous joints in witch a thin plate of cartilage persists like pubic symphysis. 3) Synovial type of joints, including all mobile joints like shoulder, elbow, hip, knee and ankle joints. They have Synovial membrane.
Why no smoking after a sore tooth pulled out?
Other cigarette smoke being a proven carcinogen, it also inhibits the cellular healing potential possibily causing prolonged pain, infection and dry sockets.
