What is the top of the tooth-the part you can see?

Your teeth are fixed to your jawbone in your mouth. They sit in a curved line along your top and bottom jaws. The white part of your tooth that you can see when you smile or open your mouth is called the crown. Some of your tooth is hidden under the skin (gum) in your mouth. This is called the root and you cannot see this in your mouth. The white covering on your tooth is called enamel. Dental enamel is strong and helps to protect the tooth. Dental enamel is the hardest thing in your whole body.For further information, go to The British Dental Health Foundation link.

How do you remove a unready tooth painlessly?

There is not a painless way to remove a tooth that is not ready to come out: When the new tooth under it grows in enough it will painlessly push out the top one. 1. Wiggle the tooth as much as you can to get it as loose as you can 2. If its loose enough start by pulling it down slowly 3. You are ready to pull it but do this slowly also 4. Your tooth should be out, it should bleed for a minute or so but it will stop ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
