Best Answer

The tooth roots (pulp, dentin, endodont) are living tissue and have capillaries as well as nerves. The outer enamel consists of tubes of dead material in which the nerves gradually die off as it grows outward, toward the surface of the tooth. The remaining nerves become evident when teeth are drilled, as in the repair of cavities.
